    Sweet Surprise!!!

    Went out Sunday late morning for a short hunt in someones yard down the road for 2 hours.
    They had torn down a building and are going to blacktop over that spot today. I just hunted
    the 30' by 50' area. Lots of Aluminium nails in the turned dirt and a few Strong Al.can type hits.
    Dug some and got lucky on one to pull this 3" by 3" copper thin piece. Before cleaning I noticed
    the one side was hinged, after the rinse I worked it open hoping to see a picture or paper inside
    but to my surprise I could see the shape of a coin. My Heart stopped, OMG, I hope its an oldie.
    Had to take pics and has it turned out it was only a lucky coin. Sometimes the good small coin
    size signals aren't the best finds of the day! Also pulled 1 Mem, 61d Rosie and a silver plated spoon.
    Red Ryder Lucky Coin. They were attached to fringed riding gloves sold by Penny's.

    Yep, something nice inside! I see one of those tokens going for 25 bucks at an auction site and it looks dug also.

    Good hunt!
