Alec and I went out for a while after work Friday. We got permission for one house and only had 30 minutes to hunt. The house is for sale and they had a showing. In that half hour I dug 2 Rosies and an MWA token.
Alec dug a real nice 1909 Canadian large Cent, a parking meter token and a BSA Bobcat pin.
Saturday, we took a little road trip. I found noting but clad, Wheats, a green reflector and a laxative trade token.

Alec dug an 1883 Seated Dime at an 1893 house. He also found button or pin that simply said KEY. Any ideas?
Together, we dug 27 wheats for the 2 days.

Good find overload! :shocked04:
I seen Alec's post about his LC yesterday. Now a seated dime!?! :wow: Wow! This kid is on fire!
At least you got yourself a couple of silvers too! Way to go guys!
Congrats! :grin:

The "Key" item is a button off of a pair of bibs.

Well they are all great finds, but the laxative trade token really is unusual, no butts about it....

I bet it is!:yes: You could have a jeweler check it out for ya.
If not, the next time we hook up I'll bring along my acid test and we'll check it ourselves if you'd like.

Seems your green reflector looks a lot like the red one I found a few weeks ago. Nice LC and seated. Seems you got a lucky token too and idk wth that laxative token is about. crazy find.

Great finds as always from you guys! :clapping:

That Canadian large cent is gorgeous! I love the color of it, beautiful green patina. :loveit:

And of course it's always exciting to get a seated! Congrats on the 1883 dime, Alec! :thumbsup02:

I found that same laxative token back in the 1980s. Ain't it a hoot? :thumbsup01:

:congrats:
