Went out detecting with Mike today to one of his spots, an old railroad siding- Mike detected about 3 hours and I stayed for a few more-weather was great- a little overcast today-and not too hot..I started out by finding 2- date nails-Datenails were tagging devices utilized by railroads to visually identify the age of a railroad tie. I found a 1923 and 1924 -the oldest ones i've ever found. I found a few buttons today--with the bulldog one being the coolest. Found a 50 caliber bullet and several pieces of pocket watches. The last thing I found was a pin in the shape of a harp---musta been worn by a chick-because I wouldn't be caught dead wearin it! Mike and I spent about 8 hrs total out there, and Mike found the only coin a 1959 penny. Dug alot of trash to find these items.. Tony

Nice finds Tony, glad you & mike got to go hunting. Looks like it was a nice hunting trip. I think the harp is for a chick. If a guy worn that around here, he would get a ration of sheeit and would have to defend himself. Lol. GL HH! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice hunt Tony. I do believe that pin might be a military band uniform pin. Great finds

Tony, you're gonna fit in just fine around here...TERRIFIC finds Awesome datenails, and that suspender buckle is great! Is that a Cott's soda button in the back?

Btw, welcome to our community

Great fistful of keepers! They are all in great shape too!

That's the Way To Do It!!! Great finds!! "Boss of the Road" was a mascot for somebody but I can't remember who or what. And I'd be willing to bet that the harp pin was from a Letter jacket from somebody that played in the HS band. AKA Orchestra pin.
