    Todays short hunt yields a couple keepers.....

    After cutting the wood for the group hunt,I went for a short drive to check out a spot I have meant to hit since last fall..was the site of an old schoolhouse....
    Found a couple keepers...
    1907 V nick
    FOB----Says "Corn the Joliet Shellers" back says "not how cheap but how good"
    A few odds and ends,the wire came out shaped like a heart and have a feeling it was made to be a gift...

    Enjoy and have fun out there

    Nice stuff there!!!

    That fob is really interesting. The Joilet Corn Shellers also had a pinback button that I saw when I did a search on them.

    Very nice!
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!

    Very nice set of personal effects. What's the ring in the middle of the heart-shaped wire? Looks interesting to say the least! Shiny too!

    Also add on a 1888 IH I recovered from a newly aquired site of an old church this evening.....

    It is hard to describe what joy it is to be on vacation...

    Nice finds. For some reason, I really enjot digging up those v's. seems like if there's no silver in the field, there's always plenty of Nicks. Looks like the old timers never dug those.
