Admin nuggethunting Posted June 22, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hello Everyone, I forgot to mention I found this strange item at Moore Creek this year. The item would not discriminate out so I continued to dig. When I first got a glimpse of the item I thought it was a gold coin! However, it's not a coin, but looks like some type of gold plated lid from something. I have no clue what the heck it is, so was hoping for some help on identification. I believe it says "Hiran Walker & Sons, Limited - Made in England. I heard the Bloody English liked to gold plate nice things, but maybe mines just a piece of junk. Thanks for the help in advance,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 22, 2006 Author Admin Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hello All, Well I guess I should have done an Internet search first! The name is actually, "Hiram Walker & Sons Limited."Here is some interesting information on the maker. Hiram Walker and SonsI guess it was a liquor lid or top, which could have been Whiskey or Rum. Still reading more about the stuff as I type this.Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
