Ripcode’s Adventures

Today’s hunt started slow… then ended on a sweet high tone! 🎶

I headed back to a late-1800s/early-1900s farm and dump site in southwest Michigan. This place started as a farm in the 1800s and later became a dump for hotels from Grand Rapids. The dump was used until the mid-1920s, and everything dated so far has been 1922 or older.

Finds included:

-Harmonica reeds.
-Pocket watch backing.
-Aluminum thimble.
-Part of a cufflink?
-Intact Ball jar lid glass.
-Brass plate marked:

"THE GLACIER
MFD BY THE
NORTHERN
REFRIGERATOR CO.
GRAND RAPIDS MICH"

But the find of the day was definitely this beautiful STERLING silver spoon! 🥄✨

Now I need your help…

Does anyone recognize the maker’s mark? 🤔

All finds were made with my Minelab Manticore paired with the M9 coil.

What is it? Episode 21

Episode 21 of my series! Another weird/interesting item that I have no idea of what it is. Trash or treasure? Help me out and let's see if we can identify it!

This was dug at the late 1800s / early 1900s farm dump site.

It is a brass plate marked:

"THE GLACIER
MFD BY THE
NORTHERN
REFRIGERATOR CO.
GRAND RAPIDS MICH"

Let me know if you know what it is!

These are really sweet! 😮🏴‍☠️

Subterrix is currently doing a pre-sale on these awesome coin & relic displays, and I just ordered mine!

I think these will be a really cool way to showcase some of the coins, relics, and other treasures I’ve dug over the years. Can’t wait to showcase mine! 🤩

If you’re interested, check them out on their website and see what they have to offer.

Just to be clear—this is NOT sponsored or endorsed. I simply like what they’re offering and thought some of you might be interested too! 👍🏼
