    A few more finds from my old faithful beach

    Got out for some deer hunting and metal detecting Saturday and Sunday. NO DEER, but I did manage to find a few more Silver keepers.

    Saturday



    Sunday


    The Okla Tax token I found has got to be the in the best shape of all the tax tokens I have ever found.






    Thanks for looking,


    Dave

    The finds are in knee deep water and are anywhere from on top of the ground to 6 or 7 inches deep, depending on how deep the clay is.
