Today I took a drive to Central MA to detect at an old site. I arrived at the location just before 12:00 pm, and detected a relatively small area for about 2 1/2 hours. I left because the site was becoming much too active and noisy. I did find three silver coins though, a Barber quarter and two mercury dimes. I then drove to another park, one I had been to only once this year. I detected around some old large trees for a little over two hours. From there I picked up four silver coins, two mercury dimes and two Roosevelt dimes.
I got careless and scratched the 1927 mercury dime at the edge while digging in the hard and dry soil. Thankfully it wasn't the Barber that took the hit.
I don't yet have information on this token, but it looks like there may be some interesting history behind it.
The two sites yielded a total of sixteen wheat cents.
HH!
