[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 454913, member: 11952"] Just been digging junk for the last couple of weeks, can't get the coil over a coin for the life of me! Found the handle off a turn of the century tape measure though: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/11952/1543272665_measure.jpg[/img] Just out of interest, when did brass shoe plates / taps go out of fashion? I find buckets of these and the US detectorists consider them to be indicative of a site dating to the Civil War period, but that's about where the information runs out. I assume they didn't really persist into the 19th century. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/11952/1543272931_taps.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
