Well got out to a new spot that's probally not going to be around long so have to tear it up quick
The site I hit use to be a school in the late 1800's but is no longer there,then they built a park there in the early 80's.Which was later permantly fenced off to to much drug and gang activity.Well they started work on it a few week's ago and something caught my eye when I went by it.They had dug around some of the old foundation of the school.Which got me excited!!So went in and found nothing but pull tab's and crown cap's
Well today was another day at it and they had moved a bunch of dirt around and exsposed some old dirt plus there were bit's and piece's of old porcelain and glass all over!!
So here we go into the goodie's,first is this piece:
Re-Elect
Wm H.Riecks
Sheriff
and the back:
Lucky Pocket Piece
With a 4 leaf clover,rabbit's foot,horseshoe and a wishbone
Then here is some glass button's I eyeballed plus this neat little jewelry piece with blueish purple stone's.
and finally the coolest Chinese clay marble I have found so far.I took a few differrent pic's of it since there are 3 differrent color's of stripe's on it.
Thank's for looking and HH,Tom

I like that old marble and the lucky pocket piece is very cool as well.
I'm hoping to get out one afternoon in the next 3 days. The temps are supposed to be in the 40's!
I think it's from the 1930's before WWII, judging by the reverse swastiska.
A little google search shows William H. Riecks was running for Sheriff in 1934 in San Joaquin County.
Cool.
