The past 3 weeks I've been primarily hunting several of the parks and a few commons in town with some
nice results. But today I wanted to hunt a property that looked like it might hold some fun finds.
About a week ago I received permission to hunt a few properties owned by one person. Today I put in a
nice 3 hours of hunting at the first property.
I ended the day with a pocket full of keepers.
My first Barber quarter of the year showed up. It also happens to be
my first quarter from the 1800's.
A few early wheats and an IH.
A couple of nice items from my town. I am not quite sure what the piece on the left is.
At first I thought it might be a watch fob but after cleaning it, the back appears to have had
a pin on it at one time. Perhaps this was a medal of some kind with a ribbon hanging down.
Plus a 5ΒΆ In Trade token for The Rex which was a tavern listed in the 1909 City Directory.
Also found this army guy (about 4 tall) and what I think is a locket. About the diameter
of a half dollar but pretty thin.
A very fun afternoon of hunting. I'm looking forward to going back there. The yard is not
very big, but there are areas I didn't have time to hunt yet.
