Five silvers today, plus a neat John Deere stick pin

Today I detected at several new sites just to try and find a new hot spot. I also ended up going back to Double-Digit Park for a couple of hours. At the first old park I hunted at I found a 1900 Indian Head and a neat old John Deere stick pin. At the second park I found a 1907 Barber Dime and a 1948 Illinois State Fair token. Then I went back to Double-Digit Park to see if there was any more silver. There was, two Mercs and a Rosie. Then I went to an old grade school and found the 1953 quarter right next to the curb.

Here are today's finds before I cleaned them:

Nice finds Tony. I agree the stick pin is really a nice find. Almost looks Christmas-y. I wonder if it was a holiday pin. Best wishes and HH, Dave. P.S. Looking forward to our road trip!

Nice hunt. Love green Indians :envious: Seeing a Barber in the hole ain't too shabby either thumbsup01
 
the coins look great against that red background especially the green indians Tony , congrats on the silver and the pin.
 
Great bunch of coins. My Company does a lot of work for JD so that was neat to see. Nice to hit silver at three locations, keeps the motivation up. Thx for sharing Wisconsin digger
 
Tony, as always a very nice variety of coins. That John Deere pin is really cool. :congrats: on all those keepers.
 
Great hunt Tony, congrats on the silver. I really like the stick pin, I found one similar to that many years ago. I will have to look for it and post a picture. I have not seen any others like it until your post. WTG |:cheering:
