MOPED ARMY

^ i went through all 251 patents that were issued on Jan 5, 1875 and didn't see it. Wtf?

There's a June 5, 1877 patent that i might browse for tonight. .

^ it sure is. And that article explains my 1875 patent search. I saw the patent on the wire flip top bottles similar to a Grolsch beet bottle, but i didn't make the connection.

Edit: finding a "Lightning" jar would have been real cool, oh well, it's still cool. (edited)

Did a little more detecting on the back 40 today before the thunderstorm moved in. We found a wheat penny, two lincoln memorial pennies, the other half of the binoculars about ten feet from the other half, a bunch of trash, mainly lawnmowered aluminum cans and pull tabs, but the coolest find was a New York Knife Co pocket knife. According to this auction it dates from 1860's to 1890's.

Unfortunately it is now nothing more than a relic.

Some cool archaeological moped finds

The exhaust header is probably from a Berini M21

My guess is a the core of a stick-type tool, like a broom or mop. A wooden shaft could slip into the cylinder, and the "ears" prevent rotation; wear might be from te back-and-forth drag of wires/other material that fastened to the lower half at that point. Just an idea...

In Nevada you can trip things like this ...

Find any dead Nazi's ?

Just started a new excavation in the old centre of my city, these are some of the first finds which are late 19/early 20th century. Eventually we'll dig deep enough to find 12/13th century remnants.

When i found it "oh cool, a bong!" Was my first thought. Unfortunately it's just some chemists bottle

Even a common water jug can be exciting, don't know much about English Pottery but the period seems right.

Some of today's pics;

Nice one, I have a bone terminus I found in Texas but a tooth is rad!

Just one that looks exactly like don-ohio

Found this 1200 year old broche last week

So these videos are awesome... granted a bit dangerous but awesome. Thought it was somewhat on par with the conversation.

Diddnt do the work of digging them out of the Earth but it's still one of my best finds ever..200 plus pounds of ammonites, baculites and bivavles. Various split shales and a couple meglodon teeth. All in milk crates from under a decrepit house. Payed the owner $20

Look pretty cool split n polished
