Here are my finds from the last two hunts at the street/sidewalk project. I really like the lock, boy it sure rang up nice, thought I had a silver quarter for sure. The barber dime is 1912S, and I found another 1932 Walgreens Milwaukee prosperity token. I don't know the whole story behind these depression era tokens, but I think I have found about 8-10 of them over the years.

That lock is cool looking, no matter how old it ends up being! The tokens are neat too, never heard of a prosperity token, but I want one :lol: Let me know if they really work ;)

Yeah, nice token and lock. I'd rank those higher than the coins myself.

Nice variety of finds, congrats. And thanks, the other day I found a plate with US on it, exactly like the front of your lock. I thought that's what it was.

Not good after Dot 15?? Not sure what that means from the token. The school yard I tried to check early last week had a very small section of old sidewalk. It was only like 6 ft long, but I think the rebar inside was setting my machine haywire so I couldnt detect near it.
