I'm sure Covid didn't help. Specially when you do a lot of door knocking. But you were still able to pocket a few nice finds for the month!
Nice digs Don!:thumbsup02:

Is there anything on the other side of the Coca~Cola token?

I'll post a picture of the back of the token tomorrow. It's an arcade token.
We have only been able to do the houses of a few friends.

I was gonna ask how you were getting permissions but your last entry explained you were doing friends homes. Silvers and Indians:thumbsup02:.

At least you were able to get out and dig a few goodies Don! Maybe a few more months and all this face mask stuff will blow over and life can get back to normal. Happy digging my friend.

I'd say those are very decent finds, Don! I love the tokens and the motor vehicle tag! Four Indian Heads and 6 silver coins is nothing to sneeze at either!

:congrats:

Nice finds Don. Looking at the coins and then the silver ring at the end.
