I Thought That It Was About Time That I Posted A Few Detecting Finds.

[Doc Bach]

I have been on the forum for a year now more or less and thought that I would share a few finds from a couple of sites.One is a recently discovery where I dug the little bank and toy pistol and the other earlier items came from a site that I have been poking around  for awhile now.

The Bank Will Hold Five Dollars Of Dimes And Unfortunately It Was Empty.

The Pistol Has Patent Date But I Cannot Quite Make It Out?

Site Two 

Eagle I With A Push. 

# 28 Phoenix Never Get Tired Of Those! 

Roseette And What Maybe Is Tack Related Item?

Wreath.

Cryer

Mission Era? The Experts Out There Will Know.

I Call These Perforators.

 

A Fairly Common Trade Item Are The Iron Bits For The So Called Spanish Pump Drill Used By The Native Peoples For Drilling Shell Beads Etcetera.

The Pocket Watch Or Compact Lid Was Pounded Flat A Then Perforated To Be Worn As A Gorget IMO.

And A Couple Of Iron Relics And Some Of The Usual Stuff That Always Turns UP.

Awesome finds. Love the two piece buckle. Every part of the country has something nice to offer us.

Those are all very interesting items in nice condition. The second site has some significant age of activity. Thanks for posting.

Nice finds and I bet it took a lot of time on those hunts.

Good luck on your next outing and stay safe.

I see some kind of serial number / part number.  IMO that more likely makes it part of a pocket watch case.

Interesting finds.

Great finds Doc, always good to see interesting stuff. 👍

Your toy pistol looks a lot like this one, someone wants a good chunk of change on eBay for it:

A lot of great finds. I like the gun. Is it real or a toy?

Thanks for the info 350.Mine is somewhat different the grip of course and the embossing is very similar it reads PAT JUNE 17 USA.Not sure if it had a front sight as it is damaged and missing a small portion of the barrel.Most likely made by the same manufacturer?

F350's image shows two patent dates.  I think one is from 1937 and the other from (June 17) 1890?  Since yours only has the June 17 one it likely is older than what he has shown.  As you've noted there are some differences, likely made for either added utility or to save on manufacturing costs.  Just WAGging here....

Patents can be looked up online if you want to dig that deeply.
