I hit our local spot on Saturday and Sunday and hunting wasn’t too great. That’s because the rain kept coming and going on both days. I was rained out early on Sunday after arriving around 1:00 PM; it didn’t last before I had to leave. I

I did manage a 14k Gold Ring, a 64 Roosevelt Dime, a Big S 1945 Silver War Nickel too. I also found 15 wheats with the oldest being minted in 1928, and a few cool marbles as well. The other mentionable finds are a small spoon is marked SIAM with some kind of profit on the handle, a Locker Disneyland Token, a City of Portstmouth Free Parking Token, a Knott’s Berry Farm Good Luck Token with crossed pistols, a junk ring, and some other stuff.

HH and Gold Luck to all.

Awesome hunt and finds Anthony! Have you considered cashing in some of those crushed gold finds? I see many people are cashing in their crunchy golds lately with the high gold prices and getting a good price. HH, Mike

Hi Booty. That’s not what I would consider an airhead question. Most of them are found at demolition sites by eyeballing, but every now and them I dig them when retrieving a target.

Marbles went on the wayside for the most part in the mid 60's because of a campaign that went around saying that playing marbles taught young children how to gamble :o. In a way I guess they are right.

Hi Mike. I've been thinking about it, but I'm still holding out on getting rid of the damaged Gold items. When the price sticks at a $1,000.00 I'll might go for it.

Congrats on your finds, Anthony. I know exactly from those pics where you went. I'd say you did well considering the terrible weather we had here over the weekend. I didn't make it out. Old coins, some silver, some interesting relics, marbles, tokens, and a gold ring. Everything but the kitchen sink. I found one of those Knott's Berry Farm tokens at a park in Fullerton last year.

Ant,
Congrats on the gold ring! You're making me want to give up on the relic hunting for a bit and go back to hitting some parks. With gold prices as they are, it's a smart move.
That Knott's Berry Farm token is pretty cool.
I used to live in Fullerton back in the late 70's. I worked at my uncles Mobil station after high school. I remember drooling over a brand new gold edition 78 Trans Am at the dealership across the street. I was driving a 73' Formula Firebird then. Great times. ;)
Congrats,
MM

Looks like you had a great weekend Ant! I couldn't get out there last weekend and am flying to Florida on a quick business trip next Sunday. Maybe I'll see you out there Saturday if I can sneak away for few hours. Leave some for me!
