Old Dog Tag, German Silver and a 1935 dime

The days are now "hot" when you go out detecting in the afternoon. So Nate and I have been limiting our trips to about 1.5 hours. The one trip I found the two spoons and the old buckle by the Lawrence grist Mill foundation. The 1935 mercury dime I found across the road at the bottom of a slope.



The Back of the spoon says "German Silver". Most likely was silver plated and all the plating came off. Definately 1800's vintage.




These four wheat pennies were likey dropped in the twenties since the latest dates to 1921. They were all in the same hole. Found at Garfield Park.


This old dog tag was found along the road down by the old Dorvaks homesite in the metroparks. I did a search and couldn't find the owner although the home was built in 1900.

Old Pocketwatch

Found an old pocketwatch at the 1920's North Olmsted Middle School. It was deep. Probably gold plated. I tried getting some of the crusty stuff off but it's on there good.

Love Dad

Another quick hunt down in the metroparks. This time around Lakewood. Found a nice pocket knife with the engraving "Paul '93". The Cedar Point Arcade Token was found with a couple dimes, one of which was dated 1988.



On the back of the knife was "Love, Dad". Kind of a sad find since you know someone probably valued that knife a lot more than me.

Easter egg dime cache

Nate and I met up with Fern. Nate met him through the Friends Church and has been detecting for some time. We didn't have a lot of time so we went just went to the metroparks. I was wandering around a hill and went into the brush. Under a tree I found a broken easter egg with 47 dimes scattered on the surface. That was a fun find!



Also found a cheap ring (probably just silver plated) an old hot wheel and a pendant.

A Random Indian Head

The day was beautiful and I just wanted to be outside for an hour. I went to the metroparks (the old Ruple homesite). Went were all the bottle caps were and got a good penny type signal. Dug up this 1892 Indian Head. It wasn't even that deep. A lot of the bottle caps are deeper.

Last of the Iceberg?

Nate and I went out to the place we code named "Iceberg". Didn't find anything special. Just a bunch of wheat pennies (around 20).

1923 Walker

Today I just needed to go out and enjoy the weather for an hour. Going down to the metroparks seemed like a nice relaxing place to go. I didn't care if I was going to find anything but ended up finding a nice coin about 6 inches down in the middle of a field.
