Seated LOVE token!

[sniffy]

It was a funny thing....I left the house today explaining to my wife that I had a good feeling that today was gonna be a silver day. I went back to a site that has been producing BIG time. Large Coppers, IH's, US BELT PLATE, and several other nice relics....There is a HUGE layer of junk and overload signals....I strive to get them out of the way. This little silver was near a large piece of cast iron....once I plucked the large iron out of the ground I didn't check around right away...but on my next lap back this little gal sang out beautifully. I finally lugged my camera out in the field with me....I just don't want to be caught with it...it's a purplish-pink hand me down from my wife equipped with a nice pink case...... laughing9 So there I am with a seated dime....I said out loud niiiiiiice but then flipped it over and seen the etching someone put alot of love in and started laughing...I just got off the phone with my wife...she says you find your SILVER freak? I said no not yet I always make sure I say love you before we get off the phone....anyways....it must have been 10 minutes later I had a love token in my hand....funny. I also picked up 3 more IH's, a couple buttuns and another suspender/garter buckle thingy.....nice little outing. So now the plan is to get a nice silver chain to put the love token on for my wife to wear seeing how it already has a hole... Thanks for lookin folks!

It has been an awesome year thus far Dan. The combination of cellar holes and old homesites have been treating me well.
