Getting out sparingly but have picked up some cool tokens and relics along with an awesome 3 Barber Dime coin spill yesterday. Also, in the photos an old ambulance car, Pharmacist weight, Red Ryder lucky penny, Huckleberry Hound kids ring, a bottle token and the smallest silver ring I have ever found. Fall is here in the Wisconsin north so detecting weather should be ideal. Thx Wisconsin Digger

Not sure why I said Huck "Finn" and yes the "lucky" token came before the spill.
