    Fairground finds - Silver & wheaties

    Went to the fairgrounds today for a couple hours.. was not there for more than 10 minutes and landed 1917 worn Merc & 1954 Rosie just 2 feet from each other.. not much after that, a few wheaties and a dollar size token (which got me excited at first.. )

    Tomorrow is suppose to be a sweet day with temps in the 60s.. we'll see...

    Nice silver. Rewarded you and then strung you along lol That token is nice but it must have had you thinking SILVER DOLLAR! Del and I have found a couple of Big Y (grocery store) tokens that are about that size (reeded edge and all) They always get you for a moment Congrats on getting out and getting some keepers.

    Congrats on the silver. I'll bet the token was a rush at first. Still, it is a cool token.
