grubstake Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Today, I took Randy Nickels out for some instruction on the used 2200 he bought, Randy lives in Oakhurst Ca, and post on the forums as Dtectorist. Anyway we went out on property I have hunted before, and has produced some good gold. No gold for either of us today, but lots of relics, I found an old sper, it looks really old, not sure, looks Mexican, all iron. heres pictures.

TXKajun Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Grub, that's a very nice find! Sweetie (my wife) has a bit of an ebay business going and has sold a couple of pairs of spurs for some pretty good $$$...($150+)! And they were not too terribly old. It may be worth your while to do a bit of research on that thing! If it's possible for you to gently clean it, look for any kind of a maker's mark or initials. If not, then you've got a really nice "Old West" relic that should be worth something! If you don't want to sell it, then you've got one heck of a relic from the Old West. Any way you look at it, sweeeeet!!HH, ya'll!Kajun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I looked, cleaned it up a little, no marks or name, looks hand forged, and hand carved, on the end, where the raoul is, spins freely, and is all there except the leather boot strap. Make me an offer. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted April 28, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hello Grubstake, I found one similar to that one about a year ago down South. Mine had a few small markings on the outside of the spur, but since it was so rusted it was tough to make them out. Just makes you wonder who was wearing it and how they lost it. Good piece of history to find. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
