Silver, Tokens, and a Few Foreign Cents

[washingtonian]

Hey folks,

Got out for a little evening hunt to a spot I've been eyeing for a while. Glad I did, it ended up being fun and productive. I swear though, someone is going to call the cops on me for detecting with a headlamp soon. I can see the call now "there's a knife wielding maniac stabbing the ground in my neighborhood." Unfortunately with these short winter days, it's one of the only ways I can get out.

I digress, here are today's keepers:



The tally:
-1947-S Rosie
-1906 Mexican 1 Centavo
-2 KG VI Canadian Pennies
-2 Wheats
-2 Seattle Transit Tokens
-2 Washington Tax Tokens

The Mexican coin rang up really funny. I think it was a 12-27 at 3 inches, almost always a pull tab. At the right sites I get in the mood to dig those signals because I've found interesting items, even gold in that range.

Well folks, good luck out there and happy hunting!

Only a week? Your doing better than I am. Anyway, I'd call that a really good day Washingtonian.

A very productive hunt,and your hunting using a headlamp is another way to have people question your activity.

Maniac? Maybe, we are all in that class... I’ve had the cops pull in a few times when night hunting with a headlamp. When I told them I was just metal detecting they asked if I found anything good and let me go back at it. Congrats on your finds and another silver for your tally.
