Hey Folks,

Here is the latest collection from a trip to some old abandoned mountain towns. This does not included the internal parts of an old pocket watch, an old door hinge, and the tons glass and pottery on the ground. I have probably detected in that area at least 10 times and walked about 20 miles. No coins, but a lot of evidence this place was well used. I did find an 1800s token for 5 cents off a one dollar purchase at a hat shop in Kansas City. There has to be a coin out there somewhere. Its trashy.

Yep, knew the gyroscope part immediately since I had many.

Also you got a harmonica reed.
Those gun shells look old since I don't recognize them. What are the head stamp marks?

The headstamps are Peters 38-56, REM-UMC 30-30, UMC SH 32-40, and REM UMC 25-20.

Nice! That top/middle shotshell headstamp is from 1892-1902! The Arrow 12ga is 1901-1910.

Those two looked old to me and was going to look them and then saw your post.

The rifle shells are pretty old too.
"The .38-56 Winchester Center Fire cartridge was introduced in 1887"

"The 32-40 began life in the 1880s as a black powder Ballard target rifle cartridge. Winchester also adopted it, and in 1894 it was one of the original two rounds chambered in the 1894 rifle (the other being .38-55, the .25-35 and .30-30 didnt' come along until 1895)."

"25-20 Winchester, or WCF (Winchester center fire), was developed around 1895 for the Winchester Model 1892 lever action rifle. It was based on necking down the . 32-20 Winchester"

Of course these are still available so shells not as old as dates above.
The 38-56 and 32-40 are pretty rare whereas the 30-30 is very common and the 25-20 is less common.

Here are the finds from today. That shell is a UMC CO No 10 Club. It looks to be from between 1851-1891
