Hello all!

I had a blast today... Was slightly cooler than yesterday and I went to the same spot I was working yesterday...

Bottle... Fliped my plug on a target and was suprised to see this there...

This Sterling Utensil Top can up as a 12/47 @ 6 and I just knew it was a SIlver quarter... I was wrong...

This metal was deep @ 8 and was a nice find... I thought it was a dog tag at first then I saw the bikes and the 1922 date...

This Token is HUGE! It makes a large copper seem small and it has decent wieght as well...

Looks like it was from a fund raiser for a hospital in 1924...

That spoon is awsome. It has hallmarks all over the back. You should be able to ID it by finding them hallmarks. I think the lion was London, but not real sure on it. One of them is the maker's mark probably too. So it will tell you the manufacturer. Some real different and great keepers there. That's one good hunt. You are crankin' with that machine. :yes: thumbsup01
