My find of the day is a 1912 motorcycle registration badge from Massachusetts it rang up as a solid quarter and shocked me big time! Found in a local park about 8 inches down.

Also found fake bling pendant, boy scout pendant, compac, 2 wheaties, a Sacagawea dollar, total of $9+ in clad, and 5 $1 bills blowing about in the wind.

Very cool find :cool: I've found bicycle tags from early 1900's but never a motorcycle registration fob like that.

Kudos!
