Go get 'em sheriff.
A badge from the 1960's with a name stamped on it from a vending machine. We could put in a dime (or less) and 'engrave' our name on this sheriff's badge and be able to clean up the neighborhood of those pesky bad guys.
The MacroMonday theme this week is "Geometric Shapes"

I have only cleaned this coin using a soft brush and rainwater.Annoyingly the pics so far refuse to show the definition as there is seen with the naked eye.
The details of the coin are as follows....
Septimius Severus (A.D. 193-211), Silver Denarius, Rome mint, (A.D. 200-201), laureate bust of Severus facing right, SEVERVS AVG PART MAX,The coins reverse is Septimius standing left in military dress, sacrificing with patera over tripod and holding spear, RESTITVTOR VRBIS ( Restorer of the city (Rome)
These are from my third or forth attempt at metal detecting.I found this stuff along a creek. The metal thing is part of a Delta shower fixture, I think it's made of copper. The quarter is fairly new. I don't know anything about the fishing lure except it's made of some kind of rubbery plastic.
I didn't keep the stuff from my previous attempts since it was just garbage.

I decided to hit a local town and do some freestyling. I drove around a bit in a historic area and ended up seeing a place with a beautiful big yard, dating from around 1830-1840. I built up the nerve and knocked on the door. I ended up with a 6 silver hunt including a Barber Quarter pocket spill, a 3-ringer and more. I gave one of the silvers and the bullet to the homeowner. Did some live digs which will be on my site soon.

The reverse side of a recently found silver coin a shilling of William III from the latter part of the 1600's.
It was found ting on the surface of the ground as my detector swept over it.
