    Last couple hunts

    Hey guys, I still haven't been getting out that much lately, been too busy. I know of a few spots I want to get to before it's too late for the year but I don't know if I'll make it. Anyway, here are some of my finds from the last couple hunts. I got a no-date standing liberty, '34 merc, three V's (1892, 1899, 1910), two rosies ('56-D and a '53-D), some wheaties, and some relics. I also found a sterling ring which has Native American images all over it, including the Swastika (which was largely disused by Native Americans in art when the Nazis began using it) and a junk copper ring. During one woods hunt, I decided to dig all signals. I found the tiniest little ice skate in the absolute middle of nowhere, odd. It rang up very low, lower than a nickel, and looks to have been a pin once. It says "Westor Johnson" along the bottom of the skate. That was an early manufactuer of skates from Chicago. I also found a tiny peice of silver in the form of one of those little clips that go on a pen so that you can clip it to a pocket. The brand name is Everfeed. I had no idea it was silver until I got home, I thought it was junk. I also found a sterling pin. It is very small and oval-shaped and features a beautiful wooded and mountainous scene painted under what seems like a layer of clear porcelain or something. It rang up like a zinc cent. I tried scanning the back to show the hallmark but it didn't work out too well. Lastly, a most interesting little pin of a boy in period clothing running. I didn't find much else the day I found him, but finding him made my day. It was fun seeing all your posts, hopefully I'll see some of you guys soon.

    Great finds, Joe!!!

    The coinage is really nice, and the relics are swell, too!

    I really like the ice skate, and the kid looks like Dutch Boy paint advertising (just a WAG)
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!
