Met up with Scott at 8:30 am and we went out to an old airstrip to find very little. In fact only 1 wheat Scott found....1st dig.

Then off to a few parks.....with a possie of kids trailing Scott, he was slow going. Very trashy, I managed the 1919 merc and I think Scott hit an IH penny. Then I found the 5 cent token. :callme: :beerbuddy:

Off to another park and a few miuntes in a got a nice copper sound. Turned out to be this. I am going to say it's a keychain unless someone has a better idea. Very ornate in its designs and a nice piece. :callme:

Shortly after a broken reasonable tone....dimeish....With a new group of kids, out came the 1896 O worn barber dime to my surprise..... :cheering: |:confused:) When I saw the back I was hoping for the seated but was notheless quite happy.

Kept going and met with Scott...decided we'd go another half hour and if nothing, then leave.....int he next few minutes, I found both IH's! We are going back here...there were other plugs dug there so I'g guessing he wasn't using a minelab as Scott found a quarter in a recent dig.

Wheats this week were only 5.

Hey Aaron, glad you guys are getting out and hunting thumbsup01 Nice finds them Indians are :yes: That '19 Merc is in sweet shape too. Does that keychain make a sound when you rattle it? It may be a fancy sleigh bell. Just a guess :dontknow:

Doesn't seem to be.....maybe it did 100 yrs ago?



as for the kids.. OY! :hairpulling:... so many questions.. we'll go back on a school day ;)


You know, what you said to that kid was brilliant....when he referred to the IH and he said I'm 1/4 indian, 1/4 Puerto Rican and the rest white....your reply , as he sounded a bit sad about it.....hey that's great, I'm only 100% white. These kinds of things make a difference in the world...really.
