Yesterday I went to ask for a permission. I found the parcels where a cellar exists, but I didn't realize the guy owns a late 1700s house himself where he lives. Lucky I had a nearby spot to try as a backup plan. There were cars, but nobody answered the door. So I went 8 min up the road to a school. Some of the back fields were near an old house and I figured I'd check the area out. Turns out the back area has been revamped a few times adding walkways and whatnot. I did work a soccer field sideline and picked up a junker toe ring with some bling. It gave a mid 50s VDI like a button, but not too stable of a reading. I almost thought it was one of those pull tabs with a higher VDI.. the ones that trick you. Most of the time a 33-34 VDI is a pull tab, but I it's for those peel-tab type.
I ended up moving a ways to the other side near a mid-late 1800s house which was in dire need of repairs. Well, there were some work trucks there yesterday. It was a good move because after mostly clad with a few tricky bottle tops, I pulled up a padlock. Maybe not as old as the iron one this past weekend, but still a find. Turns out I found the right area cuz the next target was silver. Only my third GW silver, but it's still a silver. And then 5 min later I pulled up a boy scouts 50 year commemorative token 1910-1960. :happydance01:Someone on FB said it was the largest jamboree the scouts ever had. One on eBay showed it might be worth more than the quarter. Lol... altho I believe there was some outrageous prices on eBay for a 1942 quarter. If someone didn't know any better...
Total was like 2.5 hr minus a few phone calls. Always when I am out is the only time when the phone tends to ring. :disgusted: The padlock is a Wilson Bohannan, which the company has been around 150 years. The lock is only old enough for the shackle to rust off.
