Weekends Goodies! Including a 1932 Political Campaign Pin!

[Ill Digger]

I got a late start Saturday. I met up with Mike (Silverstar) & Rob (Tech125). They were hunting in a town not too far away. Mike said between the 2 of them they already had 5 silver and and some wheats. ::huh::
I said I'm on my way! :drool: lol
I didn't find any silver coins. But I did manage a little silver bling! |:cheering:

I got this nice little sterling Ring. And a sterling silver heart shaped pendent! :groovy:

Today Ted and I went and checked out a place we've been doing some reserch on. While we were there we got to talking to a old timer and it turns out we were looking in the wrong spot :rolleyes: :thinkingabout: Kind of. The oldest part of the property (which probably holds the older goodies) is now private property. 8/ And the public part we were hunting only dates back to the early 70's :rolleyes: :thumbsdown:
With the sun starting to head towards the horizon we packed up and split. Driving through the first town we came to, we drove around till we found a old school. It dates back to the 30's. So we decided to give it a shot for the last couple of hours of light. I went right for the front sidewall. My second hole was a 1944 silver Washington quarter! <: Only my second silver quarter this year!
The very next hole was this Goetz H -10 Telephone Token! thumbsup01 :cool:

Here's the other side. It has a H with a arrow going through it.

Made by the Green Duck Co. Chicago (Marked on the back)

Before the sun set I was able to bag a couple of Mercs 1924 & 1943 and 7 wheats to round out a nice weekend of swingin'!! |:cheering:
