Well the town isn't hunted out. First yard, got me a silver spoon which I left on the floor of Don's car. Had to be sure not to leave any trash as supposedly I always do! As a result I left SILVER! :girlcry: Fortunately Don is a great guy and won't swipe my stuff. ;) Anyways Got another...

Probably sounds silly but a lot of people have found model T keys but I never did, until now. It was the only thing I found in this yard but I’ll take it! A yard or two later I managed a few Indian head pennies and then came a surprise, an 1851 2 Skilling! it’s a Swedish coin and I guess it...

Familiar town not quite hunted out. Surprised with a two quarter spill, one being my long sought after type 1 standing liberty!

Junk rings and rosy all in the same hole.

It’s a worn but it is what it is.

Sorry it’s sideways again. But it’s my first 1917 and I love it!

Of course didn’t upload the first time.

Was invited to tag along with Don and Al and had a terrific time. Wish we could have met everyone. Thanks for meeting up with us Del for the first day! :) Ended up with a buckle and a large cent turned "special token." The rest of the trip we door knocked which was tough. Short and sweet...

Got out with Don for a new (old) town and got into the third yard with not even wheat pennies showing up. Hardly any digable targets and was close to giving up but finally had a questionable maybe tone. Sometimes you just don’t dig these. But the depth was good, possibly 8 inches, jumping...

Here’s the back

Is that better?

Sorry for the lousy photo. I failed my photography class in high school (always left the cap off too long and subject always moved to much). I hope this is a little better. definitely 13 stars. Back side might be tough but I’ll try.

I don’t remember when or where I found this button, but since the weather is still too cold here in Illinois I decided to clean this with CLR. To my surprise it has gold gilded still on it! It’s about the size of the tip of my pinky. Any ideas on kind? Military possibly? It’s a 2 piece.

I noticed some of you were posting your first fines for the new year so I thought I should do the same. Nothing as grand as some of yours but not a bad start. and here’s a piece of costume jewelry, I think from the Victorian period Daddy Digger asked me about. I cleaned it up with CLR so you...

Not spectacular but the 2 cent piece came outta a farm field. Fertilizer got it. Everything else standard stuff. V nickel came from yard Don got a shield! Might be last hunt till .... Connecticut. :)

Back to one of Don’s favorite towns and got a few goodies. Was pretty steady. if your initials are CML I have your lost silver thimble LOL! You’re 180 years old? Yep must be yours! I think my favorite is the policeman’s two piece button. Heart charm is marked sterling (very tiny)...

Really didn’t find much but about 12 wheat pennies But the last house in the midst of dog do do, I got a skeleton key, a war nickel. Token for Howard Thurston, a magician mor famous than Houdini is my favorite!

Cold out, but had to goooo. The chauffeurs badge was a welcome surprise. Barber dime was last house, built 1830s. Only silver coin of the day for me. Last find for me was my first coin ring. Came from a Walker half dollar.

Always manage a good assortment. Got the crotal bell across from an 1860s school. Wish we could have been there all day but home owner changed his mind after just a single find. Anyway had a fun but slow day until Don remembered a yard we’d done where he’d found a tribe of Indian. Well next...

Started out as an average hunt with Don (very nice Alex was able to join). I’ll see if I can keep the story straight. Somewhere in the United States :lol: we started with an 1830s house and all I got was a worn out merc, flat button (no design) and a couple weird aluminum token saying “tested...
