    Weekend hunts net silver and some tokens

    Headed back to the Park I found a couple of Washingtons last week and managed to pull a few more goodies. I found a Barber dime, 2 Mercs and 10 Wheaties including a steelie I could actually make out. I also found a Monarch Ranges Jubilee Token (1896-1946) and a nice John Deere Pendant I at first thought was another silver quarter. Sunday I was a tad under the weather but did get out for an hour. Very first signal was a Merc but no more goodies after that. I did find a nice JFK memorial pendant that cleaned up pretty well. Wisconsin Digger

    I did not notice the guy standing on the door. Funny enough, my company used to make their own Porta Potties and one of our advertising brochures had me hanging on a door to show its strength. I guess our owner stole the idea from them. WD

    Awesome bunch of finds, WD! I love those tokens and medallions! Like DaddyDigger, it took me forever to find a 1915 Barber Dime. I finally found one last year but unfortunately I scratched it. D'oh!

    Good job rescuing those wonderful coins and relics!
