Last weekend, I had the opportunity to hunt a private property with 3 old gold mines on it and a seasonal creek in the middle of the Gold Country. The hunt was short and primarily to get familiar with the property for MD’ing in the future and perhaps some panning or other Gold hunting activities. The property (over 30 acres) sits 500 yards from a gold rush era town. The hunt resulted in the discovery of lots of scrap iron and this horseshoe.
I’ve had no meaningful finds to report in weeks. This dry spell was driving me nuts. I have some good prospects along with my usual hunting grounds. Next door to my office is a vacant lot. The house was torn down within the last two or three years. It was built in the late 191? To 192?. I logged a few hours on the lot before work over the last two weeks and two wheaties were found, a 1957 and a 1929. I did the same this morning. I knew silver had to be here somewhere. And here it is, beating my previous oldest coin by 2 years. A 1917 Merc
But that wasn't all i found. I also found a 1918 token.
and here are the ones listed on Tokencatalog.com

Needless to say, I’m excited about this site. Thanks for sharing my excitement.
