Sunday I went back and finished working the ballfield that I have been working the past week and I found a 1904 Barber Quarter and a wheat. I guess it's time to find a new " old " ballfield. On the way home I stopped at a demo lot that I have worked in the past and haven't found much, but today I found a cool 1918 IL. Chuffeur License. I've seen where people have found these and I have always thought it would be cool to find one. Well, I got one now. I soaked it in lime a way for about 15 min's and hit it with some 0000 steel wool and it cleaned up real nice.

Great stuff! :icon_thumright:

If the pin's intact on the back of that badge, it's a $50 find!
