Funny how one hole can make the day

[WHADIFIND]

I had a hunch about a place that is very well traveled/hunted.
Been there many times myself. But, I always play my hunches.

I knew, going in, that I probably wouldn't find very much so
it didn't bother me too much that after 3.5 hours, I only had
a clad quarter, a couple dimes and a few pennies.

But, I gotta admit, I was feeling a bit low as I made my turn
toward the car and home.

I got a fairly easy quarter hit and dug. But I wasn't paying too
much attention. Then, I noticed it was a wheatie. I said thank you!
Then....I noticed there was more in the hole. A pocket spill to finish
up, is, to me, a legitimate "exit find"! So, I'm feeling a bit better.

Arranging the coins for a pic I noticed something else! A buffalo nickel!!
and......a Lincoln memorial!?!?? I know it happens, but this is my most interesting
pocket spill I've ever had! And......it was about to get even more interesting!

I replaced the plug, checked it before I moved on and guess what?! The "quarter"
hit was still there!! I uncovered, dug a bit more and saw this:







One hole.....one of my most interesting.







All in all....not such a terrible day, eh?

Thanks for peeking!

Actually, I was thinking ribbon from the time I found it, so, I did do a little concentrated effort in the area to see if the other half might be there.
I suspect though, that since this appeared to be a pocket spill, I figured it had been converted to a fob of sorts. Strange though, '15 buff, '44 wheatie and a '60 memorial ..... in the same pocket.

Thanks!

That is for sure a very interesting pocket spill!
Congrats!!!

Very unique time span on the dates too. I'm thinking you found someone's pocket full of treasures, either spilled or lovingly laid aside so as not to lose it. Maybe during a base ball game.

And all from a well hunted place! Pays to pay attention to a little guidance.
Nicely done on another "exit" find!

Fishy is happy with his new toy.
Blingie is off to his treasure room for a little recap, untill the next shinny, shinny!
