    This weeks keepers

    Had a good week with a few short hunts. The three dimes are from an old church site, 40, 42 & 53. The SLQ was from my go to spot, the picnic groove, it has no date. The prize of the week is the Seated dime that was made into a love token. I found this during the natural hunt in Indiana at Andy's FBS boot camp. It is a slick one with no date but a first love token for me.

    Nice silver. I wonder if you might wanna try Angel's method to cleaning the seated love token. I almost mistook it for a button cuz of the design. Obvi the SLQ is type 2 if it doesn't have a date. Too bad that only removes 1 year from the window or possible dates. .

    Congrats! I would have thought that was a button too!
