Finally got around to taking some photos of the trade tokens I found. I tried to post different tokens then Driftwood but apologize for any repeats. Here are a few photo's of the store this token came from. Unfortunately it is no longer there. It is on the right in the first photo. Notice...

Will do, posted the link so you could get a sense of what the finds in the yard were like. I've been having quite a hot streak. Here are my finds in a different yard today. Pulled a really nice 1920 standing liberty quarter. I thought about going back out this evening but a thunderstorm is...

Posted the pics on my hunting buddies thread. I hope I'm not breaking some forum rule redirecting you there. lol http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/showthread.php?15466-Trade-token-bonanza!

Here are some close ups of the Morgan dollar I dug yesterday. It is my second silver dollar in five days. I woke up today and thought to myself did that really happen or did I dream it? I keep looking up expecting lightning might strike me. But I'm really happy that it happened while digging...

We went back today and pulled ten more tokens and a few other modest coins. Making the total 35 tokens out of this yard. The Morgan dollar is my second silver dollar this week. I have never seen anything like it. The first pic is just my take. Our hunting buddy who came down from Des Moines...

I went and hunted an empty house with my buddy driftwood1963 yesterday. The house was empty and while hunting around this old overgrown fountain. I stuck my Lesche in the ground and got a pretty good shock in both my arms. My forearms and hands were a little numb and tingly for 5 minutes but I...

Hi y'all I got permission to hunt a new house today. So my hunting buddy and I headed over. The yard was infested with clad and toy cars and planes. But I did manage to score three wheaties and some chunky silver. Thanks for looking!

I decided to go hit a house that was built in the 1870's and is a museum which I have permission to hunt. It has been really pounded over the years and there is probably no silver left. So my strategy was to dig every low signal and hunt the edges. I dug a ton of pull tabs and can slaw but it...

Hi, The control box has developed a rattle on my v3i. When I tilt it back and forth it sounds like a baby rattle. I'm thinking I've probably got dirt in the control box via the speaker holes? My machine is out of warranty and I'm thinking about taking it apart and cleaning the dirt out myself...

With that nice of a house and the fact that the congressman had money. I would dig every pulltab signal on the property. Who knows you might find a gold coin? I also have something from the 1904 world's fair. Of course my thing isn't as big as yours! :hystericallaugh:

It got cold yesterday so I took the opportunity to go up to a tot lot at a local park for few hours, without being bugged by all the kids. I found a few good things, and a bunch of clad and trash. This first doodad got my heart racing when I got it out of the hole thinking it might be gold...

Howdy, I found the bracelet in a yard at about 5 inches a couple of days ago. No makers mark but it came out of the ground real shiny and I'm pretty sure it's silver. Last night I had an hour to hunt before dark so I went to a little park just down the street from where I live. As you can see...

I've noticed in the cellphone view there is no most recent post button. This button is so handy I find myself switching my browser to view as desktop. This gives me access to my beloved button but is a clunkier interface. Is there any way to have my cake and eat it too?

I hunt with a White's V3I and I bought a new SEF 8x6 coil for it and have been breaking it in. So I went to a church built in 1875. A very hard hit site because it's still standing, by a highway, and but no longer used and slowly rotting. I ran my detector pretty hot, 3 frequency, best data, 5...

I've been able to get out the last few days for the first time this year. Of course it's supposed to snow tonight. :girlcry: Anyways here is my best find. I love tokens but this one is from the 1950's and the subject matter leaves me a little unsettled. I don't know, but the terminology...

I love the axe and the soap token. :perfect10: I'm not sure because your relic is a little dirty in your pic. But it looks like a logo for the International Harvester Co.

They're predicting 66 degree F Monday. :happydance02: Time to break out the shorts and tee shirt and dust off my equipment.

I have a few other hobbies then reading history books and metal detecting. I play chess and have competed in tournaments on and off for 15 years. I play on FICS under the handle NoHaRa. I enjoy wood working. I make boxes, 3D puzzles, Japanese style puzzle boxes, little stuff like that. I also...

It was about 50 degrees out today in Iowa. The ground still being frozen I've been hunting wooded areas and chopping targets out of the ground with a hatchet. I decided to go to a school site that I have to drive down a few dirt roads which in Iowa are marked with signs that read, "Class B...

Since we have a theme going here I'll post my two examples. The watch fob is about the size of a silver dollar and the other token is dime sized.
