Some of my finds from last couple of hunts

[sprosoff]

I've tried to post these a few times and written nice long stories to go with them and for some reason it never showed up. So this time I'll be brief and just get the pics up there with a short description. I have been out a couple of times lately and found some fun things, one thing I'm sure I will get screamed at because it was bent and I tried to unbend it only to break it, so my nice friend told me what it was and welded back together for me. I'm sure everyone will be able to figure it out!:bangahead02: The smaller of the spoons is marked MED DEPT USA which I think dates it to WWI. The Lucky Penny has a scene of Niagra Falls on the back. Other than a couple of mercs, the silver coins are my first real silver finds! I was super excited to find those. I think the wagon wheel must be off an old kids toy unless anyone can tell me different and I found my first whizzer!

nope i only yell at Dave :lol::lol: besides those types of guards are notorious for breaking like that , theres usually a screw hole there that weakens the area there and makes them suseptible to breaking in half .

Congrats on the fantastic bunch of finds!

I agree that the wheel is probably off of a child's toy, maybe a wagon or a baby buggy.

I love those Barbers, especially the two quarters! That's awesome! :thumbsup02:

:congrats:

Thanks! :grin: The barber with the dimes is actually a 50 cent piece! The one in the dirt is a quarter. I detected all around that wheel looking for more pieces but couldn't find anything else.
