    Saturday Hunt / Door knocking & Park hunting

    I was able to get out for a few hours Saturday. I started out hitting a couple of houses. I dug a Union Pacific token, a water tag, a rosie, a merc & a war nickel.

    On the way home I stopped at a park that Alec and I hit a couple of years ago. I dug 2 Indians and a buff.
    Thanks for looking

    Very nice handful of keepers. The RR token is cool. I don't think I have seen a water tag before, any idea what its purpose was?
