Hey Diggers,
Sunday I drove up north and met Don and Alec for some great detecting. It was a town I had never been to. We asked at 5 houses and got permission at all 5! I found a couple keepers.
A very toasty 1837 large cent came from 9 inches down in a yard that had been detected before (same yard Alec got his 2 cent coin).
A very nice 1913 Barber dime (over 50 barber dimes found and this is my first 1913).
A silver St. Christopher Medal with names engraved on the back (The home owner and neighbors did not recognize the names).
An early token for the Machen Bros in Galesburg, Ill. A little research shows the brothers were born in 1884 and 1885. One died in 1918 and the other died in 1961 (the year I was born). The front of the token bears a song title that was popular between 1912 and 1920 (picture of sheet music at end of this post).
2 marbles! Each found in a different hole but both found with trash (no coins).
