What a wonderful token, produced in the midst of the civil war. I think the original brewery building is still there?

Great finds, Jeff! I love the shoe token. The Boy Scouts of America were founded in 1910. It looks like the Excelsior Shoe Company started in Portmouth, Ohio in about 1889. Look at how massive their factory was! Congrats on the sharp Barber Dime too! :clapping:

I did find a similar spill in 2015. Mine was 6 silver Rosies and one clad, so Tim's spill beats mine! Don wasn't with me that day though. Congrats, Tim! That is very cool! :clapping:

Yesterday I got out with Digger Don and Digger Al in a town on the banks of the Wabash River. I have a love/hate relationship with river towns. The soil is always very sandy and the old coins seem to sink too deep to find. On the other hand, the coins you do manage to find are always in great...

I went back to this same small yard on Tuesday of this week and found a few more oldies. The Barber Dime is 1906 with no mint mark.

This hunt was a little over a month ago. I plan to go back to this permission if it ever stops raining here. Surprising number of Indian Heads in such a small yard. The owner just bought the lot next door and said I could hunt it too, but it is mostly gravel parking lot. Video...

Your post made me curious, Dave, so I got out my bag of Rosies that I have found detecting. When I poured out the bag my first thought was, "How did THAT get in there?" (Do you see it?) After sorting them by date I discovered that I also have never found a 1955 Rosie! Very odd!

Here's the property that mansion is on. It would have taken us a month to cover it all. Just imagine all of the Large Cents and Seated coins that are there!

Tim (Noah) was unaware that I took this photo of him getting ready to knock on the door of this (abandoned?) mansion a couple of weeks ago. Clearly the place is haunted. I watched from the safety of my truck. I thought I saw an evil spectre watching Tim from one of the windows, but it may...

Hard to pick a favorite, but this find probably got me the most excited.

I met up with Digger Don and Noah for a weekend of detecting in Ohio. We couldn't believe how dry the ground is there. I got the 1865 Indian Head right off the bat on Saturday. It is worn but it cleaned up really well. The silver Washington came from the same yard. The 1912-D Barber Dime and...

I got out with Don yesterday for some door knocking in central Illinois. It rained on us for the 2-hour trip there but by the time we started detecting at 8:30 it had stopped. When I arrived Don had already procured a permission for us at an 1865 house! It was a beautiful old brick mansion...

Here's one I found in a coin spill. Since they are steel it is unlikely that you will find one if you're using any discrimination at all. (Unless they're in a spill.)

Both!

I got out with Digger Don and Noah yesterday for some door knocking. We went to a town that has a lot of history. Very friendly people in this town, we got a lot of yeses. I had a decent day and so did Don, but Tim (Noah) had a ridiculous day! I can't wait to see his post. Anyway, here...

Here are the results from the first trip to the old drive-in. These coins were found in about an hour and a half. I found the Merc right off the bat within the first five minutes. My buddy Moose also found a Merc, his was 1935. The newest coin I found is dated 1975 which confirms what I was...

I just got an open-ended permission to detect the grounds of this old drive-in movie theater. I am told that it opened in the 1940s and closed in the late 1970s. I know there wouldn't be any super old coins there but there might be some silver. I have no idea if it has been detected before...

Good job, Tim! I love the 1917 SLQ and the first year of issue Barber Dime. :yes: But where's that Two Cent Piece, mister?

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...
