I think the middle one is a grease nipple, maybe.
Nice finds anyway, well done.

Nice work getting your oldest coin. Even if it is toasty.

 

[silver]

TM, mate with finds like that,...you are on "F"I"R"E".

 

[treasureman]

Thanks fellas.
I found another florin 2 shillings today 1926 and again very worn. Such a shame. 1947 florin, 1951 florin, 1940 florin, 1956 six pence, 1935 penny, a hallmarked fork, dog tags. And thats about it

 

[silver]

Great to see these awesome finds TM,..even stevens with the Copper and the Silver 50/50, and that unexploded ordinance has some beautiful toning,..That hunt would make a nice display just on its own(I'd probably loose the BBs though myself) as a pre 1966 finds example.

 

[treasureman]

Hey mate what are bb's? the 1 and 2 cent? Yes i agree.
These finds were all in the same area. Which funnily enough was the same area as that huge silver hoard a few weeks ago (went back to the same spot, and more coins were there, i guess last time i was there i was that physically drained i my swing wasnt fresh). And id have to say there would be a few more out there, which ill suss out tomorrow.

Can anyone help with this

dog tag?

came across this http://www.odmp.org/officer/8891-sergeant-charles-r-mcdaniel
(one of the comments: Sgt. McDaniel,
'Thank you for your service as a Soldier in the U.S. Army and your service as a Police Officer in Houston Police Department where I currently reside. May you rest peacefully in the mansions of the lord.'

This was found at a military site, i forgot to mention a USA military button i found today too

I googled W VA Corrinne, and comes up with a place in america West Virginia, Corrinne? Is this research at all related?

 

[silver]

They cleaned up nice,...have you gone over it with the sensitivity cranked up to full yet(see how that goes for you),...and listen for those scratchy signals that show up as 4 inches+ deep.

 

[Salutations]

On the site there is a "Leave a Reflection" Tab, perhaps put it on there, maybe someone will see it and know how to get in contact to a living relative.

The dogtags are a great find, especially considering both are present along with the chain. Always interesting to backtrack and learn the history behind such a find.

 

[treasureman]

Thanks a lot wally! After reading that bio... wow. Left me with some feelings. After reading that, i dont know who would still be alive in that family to pass on the chain

 

[treasureman]

Pretty much exausted that apot now. And for.my efforts just a 1936 three pence. Peace

Shes about to go for an electric bath

[treasureman]

I couldnt resist but go for a swing this afternoon.
Australian military forces button,
1956, 43, pennys and 1943, 1930 half penny. And a 1950 three pence.
Simmered the coppers in olive oil to retain age. Cant believe i have used vineger to clean all the coppers in the past. But kive and learn

 

[rocketaroo]

Great finds, so you used viniger on them? Even the threepence?

 

[treasureman]

no. dont use viniger. simmered the copper in olive oil, and electrolysis and bicard on the silver three pence

 

[rocketaroo]
