I stopped on the way home from work Friday. I was hoping to find some quick Silver but only found a " Walgreens Clown Coin" Token. Still, a pretty cool find. I also hit a 31 coin coin spill. All modern.

Saturday, we met up with a friend that we met on You tube, hiluxyota. We started at an old park but didn't find much. Digger Al found the only keeper, a toasty 189? V Nickel. The next 2 1/2 hours, we got sidelined due to a constant rain.
we finally got a little break in the rain so we hit an old farm house. I found the usual farm house relics, but Al found two old Ford Model- T keys. They were about ten feet apart from each other. After a little research, we found that those key numbers were used from 1919 to 1927. I personally think those were the finds of the day.
Ok, more RAIN. We were about an hour and a half from home, so we decided to take the back roads home and hoped the rain would stop somewhere along the way. Just as we were coming up to one of my favorite door knocking towns, the rain finally stopped for good. We got a yes at the first house we asked. Gotta love it! At that house, I dug an 1899 Barber quarter a 1964 Rosie and a bunch of wheats.

Sunday, I went out solo for a couple of hours. I hit a house from 1906. I managed a toasty 1904 Indian and another 1964 Rosie.
The rest of Sunday. Completing my Honeydo list.

Nice digs Don. Good looking Barber ! Hey, if those old Ford keys go to a Model T, I think I found the ignition parts for them :cheesysmile:

Does the lantern parts qualify as normal farm finds? Lol. Nice bit of silver. Crazy how both Rosie's ended up being the last year. WTH is the deal with that walgreens token? Betting that was such a let down. Now you know out west (or mid country) what it's like to dig something like a big Y token. I thought I researched those Model T keys. So mine was before 1919 then. It's #5; only 1 digit. It did say the lower the number, the earlier it was made.
