	June 15 Finds. « on: June 15, 2011, 06:23:23 pm »

Found an old map in the attic it shows house locations in 1942. Spent an hour at the site of a train station then went to a house site that was visible on the 1942 map. Spent an hour there and found this heart. When I was a kid in the 1950s these were sold at the county fare. It says l Love you in several languages. I tried to clean it up and this is as good as I could do without sandpaper. I used acid, brasso, bench polisher and steel wool. This is the result.

Went back there again today for about an hour and found a Longshoresman's button. The I.L.A. is the International Longshoresman Association a branch of the AFL/CIO. The button has a threaded stud on the back that screwed into something.

The heart looks like gold! Is it? If the Button has a Screw Stud on it, it most likely came off a Hat.

That is a very interesting piece I'd never seen before. Well I was born in 1959 Grin

. So, if it is not silver, what material it is. I thought that in the 50s most jewelry was silver. Cool find indeed.

Cyber, the heart is cheap brass. This is carnavel jewelry. I was suprised it held up so good in the soil. The button is either silver or german silver. It is not marked. ...Interesting thing about the button. I had given up for the day and wasn't finding any targets except iron and foil which I don't dig. I dug a foil target just for grins, and it turned out to be the button so I dug foil the next day and the next day but I just came up with foil. I guess that is the thing about jewelry it can give almost any kind of sound and you miss it if you don't dig. .. .....gambol.
