    Memorial day hunt... Rosie & a Zippo

    Went out solo this morning for a couple hours. Tried an old Community center not far from my place.
    Dug a 1947-D Rosie and a Zippo Lighter. I can't get it to work, but oh well, it's still a cool find. Also got 4 Wheat Cents & over $5.00 in clad.
    The pocket watch is the one I found Saturday at the old Church.
    Wisconsin was good to us this weekend !!!!!

    the Susan B Anthony looks very vintage because of the aged patina and dirt , congrats on the finds Don
