I am taking a rain day here on the west coast today.
So I thought that I would share my finds from the last four outings.
Trash, both modern and old is everywhere.
Thankfully most of what I dig is recyclable.
Unfortunately spendables are actually harder to find than trash.
But it is there if you have patience.
$37.12 does put a nice bit of gas in the old beast.
My biggest disappointment this time came in the form of a brass lion pin.
When it was found I texted my guru of all things Canadian military this comment.
"Have you seen anything like this before? When I found it the other day I thought that it was modern junk. Now I am not sure what it is. Could this be military?"
And I sent him pictures of this.
He replied.
"I am reasonably certain that it is military. I have seen the lion on British and Scottish badges."
Well after coming up empty on google searches for any matching insignias, I took another picture of the back of it for posting.
And finally noticed a faint back mark of it.
Under magnification it reads Hindu Taiwan
I guess that it was modern junk after all.
At least I didn't get totally skunked in the keeper department.
