I was finaly able to get out for a few hunts this week. Last Saturday, Alec and i got out for a few hours. Alec dug an old Illinois tax token and I dug a 1928 Buffalo.
Fast forward to Friday. I stopped after work and did one house, one Good house. I dug a 1944 Washington, 1946 Rosie, 1945 Merc, a no date Buff, an 1889 & 1905 Indian, 2- 1940s Canadian pennies and 12 wheat cents. I went back to the same house Saturday morning and found another 1899 Indian, a no date Buff and a little silver bracelet.
Sunday, I went out to hit a few rural farm houses. It started out slow, the first 5 houses we hit were rentals and they all said no. Eventually we got a yes and things got better. I dug a 1900 Indian and a 1924 Dog Tag at the first permision and a 1957 Rosie and a 1943 Walker at the next. This was a fun week.

Great set of finds Don. Love the old dog tag, and another Walker? Wow! Congrats sir. You've probably found enough IHs to nearly fill up the book outside the odd rare dates correct?

Definitely a lot of variety there. Almost like me but with a lot more silver than I find. I like that square token. Unique shape.

Those are some really nice finds you got there Don. I like the bracelet (never found one) and the dog tag. I can't figure out what the shape of the dog tag is supposed to be though. Congrats on all the goodies. Looking forward to this weekend, Dave.

Great bunch of finds, Don! That silver bracelet is wonderful! :loveit:

You gotta love a Walking Liberty Half too.

The old 1924 is very interesting. Seldom do you find them that old. The shape is unusual. Very cool!

:congrats:

Did you first see the "2002" on the dog tag and wasn't thrilled? That is an oldie of a tag for sure! Congrats, Don!

Exactly, I almost threw it in my junk pouch thinking it was new. It just looked old so I cleaned it better and then saw the 1924.
