Spent an hour or so digging under the tables at the flea market near me here in Maine. I have been scouting the booths that have jewelry and small items, so I know where the best tables are. Among the odd finds are a bent brass drawer pull, a nice brass lamp finial and an old style glass fuse.
On hot days it is nice to dig around in the shade under the tables. I haven't bumped my head yet! The dirt is soft and easy to dig down there.
It always seems to happen that when I'm about to give up, I find something really cool. Today it was a really nice sterling ring marked 925.
This is a beauty in mint condition and weighs in at 0.123oz (3.4g). I might try selling it on eBay.
Found yet another military button, this one is a U.S.M.A. CADET It is dinged on front with a bent back.
A nice Egyptian motif hat pin with a small blue glass(?) stone in it. It's brass and may have been gold plated.
Among the pennies I got a thrashed 1957 wheatie and a 1996 Canadian one cent. The find that capped the day was this cool "treasure" board game piece that Peter Hart in London, England helped me identify via Facebook:
If you look closely (I missed it) it says: "DREAD PIRATE" around the edge in the image on the right. Peter sent me these pictures. Thanks Peter! 👍😀
