I got out today for most of the day. Another tough outing, but I did manage a few good finds.
The first house I hit I dug a 1956 Rosie The next couple of house only produced a few wheats.
The next house was a little better. I dug an 1892 Indian, a sterling Spider ring and a thimble.
The last house of the day was an old farm house. No coins, but i did dig an unusual pair of scissors and an old flat button.

Those scissors definitely are unique. Nice finds keep pounding those Indians. I agree with Ill Digger, any hunts now are good hunts. Hope to get out today and tomorrow. Nice finds. WD

I think that the scissors might be a candle snuffer. Like that spider ring also.

Congrats Don. You always seem to pull at least one nice Indian on your hunts. Flat button back mark is interesting as well. Anything on the front?

Nice finds. Weird on the Ster stamp. I cannot make out the top word on that button. And using what I think I see, doesn't yield any results. Looks like it says '_AEDICKE BERLIN'. Haedicke is a door company.
