Hi Friends,
We hunted into December around here but since then the ground has been either frozen, snow covered, or both. I finally got out for a few hours this afternoon with temps hitting 50! I did find some frozen ground, but the vast majority was butter soft. I think the Merc is 1918, the IH is a good lookin 1905. The token is from the mid-30s. All found with a six inch coil, in a very high trash area. Thanks!

Good finds Drew. I've found (and seen) that token before but never with the brick wall in the background. That is pretty cool! Plus you got one silver and one indian so that makes a pretty good group! Congrats and happy hunting, Dave.
