I got out today for a few hours with my friend Tim. We hit a couple of houses and got a few keepers.
The first house produced a 1964 Rosie and a Joliet, il Bar Token. the back has two dates 1870 & 1895 so I'm thinking maybe a 25 year anniversary token.
At the second house I dug 2 religious medals, a St.Ann & a St.Christopher. I also dug a worn 1878 Indian and 15 wheat Cents.
It's been a busy week at work and it really felt good to get out swinging today. Got me some keepers.

Great job Don and love the IH and token. Your IHs consistently clean up so nice I'm envious! Half of mine are just plain toasted, or in really sad shape. Congrats!
