These are my finds from a short hunt on the banks of one of the swimming holes where I found the silver coins. It has been too cold to get in the water so I thought I would try the dry ground. As expected there was a ton of trash but I did manage a few keepers. The coolest was probably my first bird tag. I registered it and found out it was on a Great Horned Owl and was tagged in 2003. They typically live about 13 years so I’m guessing it died of natural causes. It was an interesting find in that I learned some thing about the tagging service and the whole process. I attached the certificate they sent me.
I managed two pieces of jewelry a copper bracket and a .925 necklace with the word Lucky engraved on it. I guess they weren’t so lucky after all. Other finds were a 1927-D wheat that was my first for that year and mint mark. It filled another hole in my cent book. Another unusual find was a Canadian cent that was holed and silver plated. Overall a good hunt with some unusual finds.
