    Spring Digs so Far

    It was a long, long winter and I was not able to start detecting until mid April this year. I've only gotten in 5 hunts so far this year but I've been having some good luck. Here's hoping it holds out. The pics tell the story for the most part. I haven't been able to find anything like the Hillside token online. I believe J.Y.M.&W.A. is Jewish Young Men and Women's Association but that's just my best guess. Some kind of locker token maybe? And for once, the big scratch in the Barber quarter is not my doing!

    Happy hunting!

    Fantastic bunch of finds, Matt! Several silver coins including a nice Barber Quarter and a Canadian Dime.

    I really like the old toy truck, the tokens and the brass bells too! Did all three bells come from the same site?

    Congrats on the wonderful finds! Even though your season got off to a late start, you certainly are making up for lost time!

    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
