I had a good time detecting this past weekend!
On Saturday I met up with Digger Don and Noah for some detecting in central Illinois. It was hot and humid but at least the rain stayed away. All three of us ended up with some good finds.
Here is a list of the coins I found on Saturday:
3 Indian Head Cents 1887, 1891, 1896
12 Wheat Cents
1 Barber Dime 1895-S
1 Rosie 1953-D
1 Barber Quarter 1907
I also found this neat store token but I'm not sure what town it's from.
I also found this object which I though was a hinge but it isn't. It's part of an old circa 1890s stove top finial. It says BECKWITH'S ROUND OAK.
Here's what it looked like on the stove top finial:
On Sunday morning I met up with my wife's nephew Moose. He had several properties in town lined up for us to detect. Unfortunately it started raining around noon so our hunt was cut short. I did manage to get a spill of three Indian Heads dated 1902, 1903 and 1907, six wheat cents, a 1920 Buffalo Nickel, and a couple of tokens.
I found this amusing laxative token on Sunday. I had found one of these back in the early 1980s when I was detecting with my dad. This one is in better shape though.
Here are some of the better Wheat Cents:
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
