It's been *such* a hot summer on top of which I have been so busy with work (and thankful I still have my job) that I've hardly gotten out at all and when I did, little of interest turned up.

Yesterday I was at a new spot, though, and as these things so often go, within 5 minutes I had found the two silvers; naturally I assumed I'd be going home with a roll each of silver dimes and quarters. After two hours, though, no more silvers. But I did find some wheats and other interesting (to me) bits and bobs that are not pictured. And towards the end I found the shoe token, which was a first for me.

All in all a good day in the dirt! As pictured:
1956 Roosevelt dime
1910 good-luck token issued by the Excelsior Shoe Company of Portsmouth, Ohio ("The Excelsior Shoe for Boys"); features a pre-Nazi use of the swastika
1954-D Washington quarter

Nice silver and an interesting token. Too bad that symbol will forever be associated with the Nazis.
