I had two hours to hunt this morning so I headed to my Barber quarter spot. There is not many signals in the part of the yard I am hunting, but the coins that turn up are nice. I got one nice hit there that turned out to be a 1904 World's Fair pendant from St. Louis.

After digging that I decided to run up to the hospital I recently received permission to hunt, since it was only a couple of blocks away.

Picked up 3 silvers and 1 wheat in about an hour and a half.

With these 3 I am at 87 silver for the year. Getting almost close enough to go for 100. :thinkingabout: Time is running out here for hunting... I'd have to connect with a few hail marys. At best we might have about 3 weeks left. But I would sure like to join the 100 coin club. :yes:

..... I accidently turned off the 'Don't hit target' setting on my digger. It's an easy toggle to flip if I am not careful. lol

That Pendant is real nice :shocked04: I love that kind of history, no question on dating it lol Nice score on the silvers and I believe I did a hunt up Catskillcomics way that I had the Don't hit target switch on my digger set wrong too. I scratched a bunch that day :crying02: I hope you get a chance to go for that 100 club. It seems a lot of people here are hitting it lately :thinkingabout: :clapping:

Great finds! Just keep adding more layers of clothes until the ground freezes solid! You'll make 100 yet this year.

A few years back, a friend of mine found 1 of those worlds fair pendants. I think he was in Michigan. Great find! History in your hands :peace:

Making a find like that just makes my day. I love history and finding real tangible things that are old is really cool to me.

Congrats on the great finds!

Really nice souvenier you found there! I found a Worlds Fair souvenier match safe 1904 commemorating Louisiana purchase- one of my favorite finds so far. Googled it and learned the fair lasted 7 months and that the ice cream cone was invented at that time, due to vendor running out of bowls, started putting it in waffles from the the waffle stand next to him.
