    Eleven cents and some doo-dads.........

    Stopped by an old fam real quick that I have hunted several times over the years. Targest were few and far between but I did manage 2 "V" nickels 1907 and 1905, a 1939 wheatie, a mother of pearl button, a live 32 round that had been fired but did not go off, and a neat old spoon from Oxford Silver Plate Co. with a Pat date of 1908.
    This farm has been in their family sinse 1866. I cleaned up the spoon and will give it back to the lady who's family it belonged to.

    Here is also a cat pendant and some clad I got the other day at a park.
