Back to SLQ Park - Nine Silver Coins Today

[Tony Two-Cent]

Another beautiful sunny day here in Illinois! :happy:

Today I tried three new parks. The first one paid off with 2 silver Rosies and a few wheat cents. The other two parks didn't produce anything of note.

So I went back to "SLQ Park" (for want of a better name) and found 7 more silver coins there today.

Here are today's finds:
60720


Here are today's silvers:
60721


Two Barber Dimes and a 1924-D Merc:
6072260723


Today's relics include a trade token, and old buckle and a lead bag seal:
6072460725


I have no clue what this is?:
60726



Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:

I'm going to have to move out of state. Pretty soon there won't be anything left here in Illinois. .:lolsign:

Seriously, congrats on another great hunt. Nine silvers and a cool token. :wow:

I hope you were wearing glove when you scooped out that bottle top.

I knew i shoulda called you. I hada feeling you'd be out on such a nice day. I was passing through yor neck of the woods.
Another. Killer day!
Congrsts!:grin:
At one point I couldn't stand ot any more and pulled over and hunted a small town park. Got a Merc! Scratched a itch!!:lol:

[JdsCoins]

SWEET Tony! I found one of those things you showed in your last pic once. I don't know what they are either and would like to know. :)

[Restoring Your Finds]

Beautiful finds Tony !! I also love the way you present your coin finds ! That first picture is very nice.

[Mr. Digger]

Nice Tony! You are off to a great start. The ground is still snow covered here and it's 29 degrees today. I'm so jealous!

[MangoAve]

Nice silver. The 24 merc seems like an uncommon date. seems the SLQ park is a hot spot. Maybe the first new park you will hit again. The last pic looks odd with the teeth section but those 4 tabs on the top and bottom Def say it slid in a track. Possibly similar to an older window sash slide.

Dang...

SLQ park produced big time Tony. :clapping: I do like the name. :yes:

Gorgeous bunch of coins in the top photo. Love it!. Congratulations.

WTG Tony, finds like that make me want to start digging thru that 6" of snow we still have on the ground.

[POKIE73]

as always you manage to sniff out silver you must have a gift with that e trac congrats on a great hunt

[wisconsin digger]

Wow, great hunt. Nice to see all that silver. WD

[Tony Two-Cent]

I found a token similar to the one above. Apparently August W. Maxe was the proprietor of a store in Staunton, IL, and was listed in the 1900 census as a baker and confectioner.

By the way, I found this token about 80 miles away from Staunton, IL. :thumbsup01:
