    Car load of treasure...

    Here are my finds from the last couple of weeks. Found a big old tootsie car to put all of my finds in...the wheels still work too. Found good amount of silver including a silver Horse Ring.

    Found some lead too. A toy soldier, hem weight and an old bullet. Might be a 3 ringer but hard to tell...I do not pretend to be an expert on old lead. I can see a couple rings for sure and the base has the diameter of about a 50 caliber.

    Below are a few tokens...one is the biggest Palmolive token I have ever dug, a Liberty Bell token for 5 cents in trade, Chinese coin of some sort, Shell President token and a small play money coin with Roosevelt on it. Also my best find in my opinion is the 1882 H Canadian LC. This one is in decent shape too. The indian is from 1898 and is very crusty.
