markinswpa Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 WOW ! Great mixed bag hunt. Quarter trifecta, token, toys, relics, a little bit of everything. Yard permissions like that are hard to find these days. I agree with the comment on leaving the pinched Ihp the way it is for display. Quite the conversation piece. The button is interesting, would love to know more about that. Congrats on the silver score and all the other cool finds. I would definitely hit that place a couple more times. Good luck.

jim tn Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Yeah, that's a grand outing. There is more there, I would,'t give up on it to quickly. HH jim tn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftSword Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 @Doc Bach I believe the cup is pewter. It's bottomless, so if there were any marks, they're gone. @geof_junk The token is from a furniture store. Most of the name has corroded away, I need to do a bit more puzzling. @jim tn I'll definitely give it another whack, though the clock is ticking. The house was recently sold, and my permission will probably expire as soon as the new owners get the keys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Killer hunt SwiftSword! ? Good on ya for jumping on an opportunity, all the owner can say is no. It's much more fun when they don't. ? Apparently multiple silver coin finds in one day is getting rare, I think the best I ever did was 3, and my "fever" kicked in after the first ? Your ship wheel button is intriguing, might have something to do with steamships or yachting. Could you post front and back photos? Hope you find other interesting relics there, seems high potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftSword Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 Yes, the button is eating my lunch. YC certainly stands for yacht club, but there are three clubs in Massachusetts alone that start with an H. I can't find this model online either. I'll post the back when I get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftSword Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Went back last night and combed the place with different programs and settings and the large coil for coverage. Squeezed out one more silver quarter, an 1886 IHP, a few wheaties. None of my hunts seem complete without a spoon. However, this one is good enough to put back into circulation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 That's great. You know there's still a few more hiding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftSword Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Here's the thing... I know a place is never really hunted out, but at some point I just grow tired of tramping over the same ground and listening to the same trash. I think I've had my fill here. I am eyeing the neighbor's yard, though ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
