[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 6597656, member: 10461"]PS- I never found a whole harmonica. Just those reeds like that. Ditto pocket watches. Dug many an empty pocket watch [I]case[/I], or the [I]movement[/I], but never the whole watch. Out of the thousands of relics I dug, of every description, one other thing I never found was a whistle (as in police whistle or referee whistle). That’s the sort of thing you’d expect to find at least once over a quarter century of detecting. Also, I never chanced across a silver Washington from the 1930s. Found Seated, Barber, and Standing Liberty quarters, and silver Washies from the ‘40s and later (not to mention hundreds of clads, of course), but never a 1930s quarter. The 1840s (any type of coin) is another decade I never happened to find, though I covered every other decade of US coinage (if you count my dateless Draped Bust large cent as potentially being from either the 1790s or first decade of the 1800s).[/QUOTE]
