Five silvers today, plus a neat John Deere stick pin

[Tony Two-Cent]

Today I detected at several new sites just to try and find a new hot spot. I also ended up going back to Double-Digit Park for a couple of hours. At the first old park I hunted at I found a 1900 Indian Head and a neat old John Deere stick pin. At the second park I found a 1907 Barber Dime and a 1948 Illinois State Fair token. Then I went back to Double-Digit Park to see if there was any more silver. There was, two Mercs and a Rosie. Then I went to an old grade school and found the 1953 quarter right next to the curb.

Here are today's finds before I cleaned them:

Nice finds Tony. I agree the stick pin is really a nice find. Almost looks Christmas-y. I wonder if it was a holiday pin. Best wishes and HH, Dave. P.S. Looking forward to our road trip!
