Hunted a 1904 permission on my first day out this year. Two thimbles same hole. The larger one has a small "9" on it. The smaller one has some pretty vine type etchings. Looks like an old skate type barrette and a patriotic dangle.



30s, 51s, 52s, 1905 ihp. Pre-clean and getting to know my new pluggable scope scanner.

I'm jealous as I still have a foot of snow in my yard. Nice start to the season. WD

I really like that roller skate thingy! How Americana is that! All those S mint marks, you must be in California or something. Glad to see you posting some finds. Best wishes and happy digging, Dave.

A thimble spill! That's a first! :shocked04:

That was a great hunt. The Indian Head and Wheat Cents are in nice shape. The 1930-S is an unusual find. Not a key date but they don't seem to turn up very often.

:congrats:

Yeah, that skate must be from the 50s or 60s no?
