    Best. Day. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OK, edited to the cliffs notes version Found 4 silver dimes (3 in one hole): '14 Barber and '17d, '20d, and '24 mercs. Also found a '26 buffalo nickel, 3 wheats ('13, '19, and '20), old Herbert Jones mens clothing store token, 2 old shotgun shells, a possible oil lamp thumb wheel, and a thin, square gold colored metal plate w/ a rose on it that might just be modern era junk. Clad totaled $0.60 (1 quarter, 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 10 cents (2 copper and 8 zinc)). Pics below. Enjoy!!

    Yes!

    You can take a breath while typing too!

    But wait there's more!

    Nice hunt!

    Token sounds a lot cooler than how it looks in the pics. Try to change the color or brightness settings on it for us vision-impaired folks.

    Fantastic Day Paul!

    Congratulations on the 3 silver dime pocket spill! What a thrill that must have been!

    Cool token and my guess is that it is from the 1920 to 1940 era

    That 1924 Merc looks to be in real nice shape. Full bands on the back?

    I am sure that hunt was a confidence builder for you and the Etrac!

    Hi Rich. Yep, that's it!! It's definitely pre- WWII, but I haven't been able to narrow it down any further. Apparently, these "good luck club" tokens were VERY common in the pre- WWII years...
