    Decent Day - 3 Indian Heads, 3 Mercs, 1 V Nickel, 1 Buffalo + More

    Today I ended up back in a town where I have hunted many times before. It was cold and windy but the steady finds helped keep me warm. I started out hunting a couple of sidewalk strips near the old school. At this site I found a 1918 Mercury Dime, a 1904 V Nickel, and an old good luck token that has a 1904 Indian Head Cent in it.

    After that I went to the old town square park. I was actually surprised at how many finds this park gave up today. In the town square park I got 2 Indian Head Cents, 2 Mercury Dimes, a Buffalo Nickel and some wheat cents.

    Here are today's finds:

    Here is the good luck token. I have found these before with wheat cents in them, but this is the first one I've found with an Indian Head in it. Too bad the token is so badly corroded.

    Wow, I never thought that them good luck pieces went back that far. That's a great find Tony. Love the crystal quartz point too. It's amazing that good, quality coins still can turn up from parks. Some days the machines just seem to lock on to them targets.

    It has me baffled too. It has bent clasps on the back, almost looks like it might have been attached to leather. In fact, I think there might still be a small piece of leather under one of the clasps.

    Here is the back:

    Dan, maybe it's hard to see in the photo, but the top 1/4" or so of the quartz crystal is actually encased in some type of metal.

    The back makes me think that a strap from a harness went through it. The hole would allow you to dangle an additional item from it.
