It was an interesting week hitting multiple sites in Western PA. Mostly solo except for yesterday's hunt with pa-dirt_nc-sand.

I hit a park that had some old dots near by on the 1800s maps. I managed 3 older finds in almost 2 hours.

I revisited a wooded area that was near an old train station and bridge.

Hiking thru the woods in search of scarce targets that weren't bullets or roached shotgun shells. I even scored this Big Stupid 3 - 5 points randomly inspecting trash.

Today a trashy hillside coughed up a couple lucky finds!

Nice post Louis! You are on fire with your new Nox. That “Body By Fisher” badge is interesting. I’ve found a number of early automotive and bicycle badges, but not a true horse drawn buggy fabricator. Very cool. Congrats!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm stoked to be pulling these early Mercs and occasional Barbers. It can be a struggle to find them. It's always nice to find something I didn't know existed like that Delaware medal. I'll be surprised if I can keep the pace up all year but we will see. I need to find some old nickels, I still haven't got on the board with those in 2020.

Nice post Louis! You are on fire with your new Nox. That “Body By Fisher” badge is interesting. I’ve found a number of early automotive and bicycle badges, but not a true horse drawn buggy fabricator. Very cool. Congrats!

I'm not sure how old that badge could be, I did a quick Google search and found a Wikipedia page that gives some info. "The name and its iconic "Body by Fisher" logo were well known to the public, as General Motors vehicles displayed a "Body by Fisher" emblem on their door sill plates until the mid-1990s." Could be modern or older, I'm not sure how to date it.
