    never hunted out

    Back to one of Don’s favorite towns and got a few goodies. Was pretty steady.

    if your initials are CML I have your lost silver thimble LOL! You’re 180 years old? Yep must be yours! I think my favorite is the policeman’s two piece button. Heart charm is marked sterling (very tiny). How many wheat pennies? Did Don beat me? I only found two Indian head pennies (1875, 1898). Did manage a toasty billiards token.

    And the neckerchief I believe is from the 50s. Says “Strengthen The Arm Of Liberty.” Nice important motto.

    Like Tony, a silver thimble is eluding me. Nice group of keepers. 1875 IH is a good one to find and always love tokens.

    Starting to feel a little silly though after seeing what Dave is digging in Germany. Hope Tony eventually finds his thimble.

    I saw the video of you pulling that thimble Noah. They rarely come out of the ground in such pristine condition. I've seen that particular scout woggle before but not very often. It must have been a limited edition type thing.
