Very nice! Looks like a good hunt over all. Plenty of good CW relics in that pic.

That is a real beauty there.

The hole sucks but atleast it's small and at the top.

Great finds Mike.
Congrats on that fine looking silver coin. I know most folks don't like a holed coin due to the value lost, but to me they really mean more than one that isn't holed. It must of meant a great deal to someone in those days.

Can I ask what it says on the oval tag in the upper left of one of your pictures?
I found a similar one from the 1930's that said something like, "Property of........, If found please return to........Reward offered."

Thanks,
MM
