It's supposed to snow Friday into Saturday so I got in another quick pre-work hunt. I was able to find an old token. I haven't cleaned it yet but I can make out Good for 5. I also found an old ornate clip of some kind. But just before leaving I hit a good signal at the crest of the slope I was on and I thought I was going to get a penny and was pleasantly surprised to see the Mercury dime shining in the dirt. <: It's a 1925 I think. Sweet! Happy Hunting all!! :groovy:

Thanks everybody! Here's a couple pics of the finds cleaned up. The Merc from yesterday turned out to be a 1923. The Buffalo is 1928, and the Wheats are from 1940, 44, and 45. The rooster turned out be in fact silver! It says Sterling on the little attached ring. The token says, Good for 5 cent package of mints. The other side says, All Quality Mints.
The money clip didn't clean up any better, so it's probably not silver. Happy hunting!
