    Nice! Love the registration tag. A quick search shows that there were 248,400 cars registered in IL that year compared to 4.5 million now.
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank
