    Tavern, Rimfire and silver

    Was out hunting most of the day on Monday at a local site that I and some of you hit
    this spring. Still finding some trash and some goodies, found alot of copper grommets
    also. Monday I pouched a 34 Wheatie, 1890 I.H. (my 5th one from this site) and the
    5 cent in trade token. On the back of the token it reads Thompson Tavern -r--ington ILL
    Today I spent two hours there again and found a 34 Wheatie right away and a 35p Merc.
    This afternoon I meet Marinedad at a park in a small town for an afternoon hunt. A very
    trashy park, pulltabs everywhere, I found 8 mems, a 6 sided lipstick tube from Princess
    Distributors Chicago, and a Rimfire spent cartridge. Any idea on how old the Rimfire cartridge
    might be? DFW Just did some research on the token, Jay Thompson Tavern Arlington Ill

    Those finds aren't too shabby. The more trash you pull out, the more goodies will emerge. Don't give up on that spot just yet. Congrats!
