Token kinda day...with a little silver too

[Ill Digger]

Hooked up with Sqrll29 & Theola for a late morning morning hunt yesterday. We hunted for about 6 hours. The first place we went to was a place Theola and I hunted twice last year. We did good there last year. :yes: The home owner said we could hunt for 2 hours before she had to leave. Today started off with a bang! Within the first 10 mins Theola found a worn seated quarter! :shocked04: And later a 1914 buff. About a hour and a half into the hunt I got a sweet 12-47 at only 3 inches. I was thinking it must be a new drop clad quarter(pretty tall grass). There's no way we missed this signal under this big tree last year. \:hammer: I flipped the plug over to find a nice vintage sterling silver Boy Scout ring! <:

After our time was up we went looking for another place to hunt for a few more hours. We spotted a old house for sale and went and knocked on the door and the lady said Go ahead. thumbsup01 Besides the 3 Wheaties I found at the first house, I was able to find 9 more at the new place. Some nice early one too :yes: Of course the always present 1944's and 1919 too :rolleyes: lol

Congrats on 12 wheaties. Those tokens are cool looking and Theola's seated quarter is a fantastic find. That ring looks like a real chunk of silver

[Cheap Thrills]

[Bell-Two]

Super stuff Tim, great looking ring, I found a Brownies ring similar to that of course smaller. Tokens are cool too. Congrats on a great hunt!

That a lot a great digging...I guess the soap token must be from 1926 or 27 as the company had that name for only two years. Check this out - http://www.colgate.com/app/Colgate/US/Corp/History/1901.cvsp

Wow! That ring is awesome! :drool: Great find, Tim, as are those tokens. :happydance01: And the early wheat cents are sweet too. I see you even have a 1917-S. :smitten:

That Scout ring is a fantastic find... and the tokens are frosting on the cake! Congrats!

[jkress]

Love your finds here Tim. :smitten:
No wonder why I haven't been finding any tokens around here lately... you are getting them all. :yes:
I'd love to add a ring like that to my collection, it is a great one for sure.
Great post and congrats.

That ring is a big hunk of silver! I found a similar sterling silver Cub Scout ring but it is smaller. I wonder what years those rings were made?

Nice tokens too! I especially love tokens that are from Illinois! :yes:

Nice hunt! :clapping:
