8 Silver ~ 49 Wheats ~ Token ~ Injun ~ Jewelry!!

[Captn SE]

Hello My Friends!!

I'm having a pretty productive week so far detecting two heavily pillaged parks. Every detectorist in S. Cal has probably been to these two parks if they are interested in finding old coins.

Today, I met up with Bob(Bullfrog), Mike(ratman), and his Dad at an LA barrio park. Bob had to leave early, but no sooner after we greeted each other in the morning, I was locating deep targets. The wet, saturated ground has definitely helped in finding the really deep coins. Today, I found many of my teen wheaties, the '04 Injun, and the token beyond 9" in a heavily detected area. These signals were very faint, and if you didn't know what to listen for, you would have passed right over them. The signals were zinc'y and broken in tone. I think out of the 20 wheats I found today, about 10 of them were in the teens and 20's, including a 1909(Philly mint). The token says "Morton's Stag Lunch", "Redondo Beach", "Good For 10 In Trade". Any info on it would be appreciated. It was a lot of fun to detect the old Barrio today. Oh, and the little silver mariner's pendant was a signal I normally don't dig, but since I was showing Bob at the time what a pull-tab to zinc target was, I just happened to dig the small piece of silver....


Thanks for looking!
Keep The Passion High!

Love all of the silver coins and the token! I can't wait until I get back into hunting! Right now I have been majorly sick with some cold/flu. Plus to make it worse JuJu has gotten the cold/flu but from his neices. We won't be going out until next weekend

WTG Dan,

You still know how to find old coins

Here's a pic from my California Tokens book of your token, Off to the side of the picture (not shown) it says the token to be worth $5.00 bucks at time of the token book print.

Morton's Stage Lunch came out with a 5 cent token too, Yours is made of brass and is 23mm in size.

With inflation, wear of coin I will give you $6 bucks for the 10 cent token

Just kidding, That's a $35-50 dollar token.

Congrats Dan!

Hey, Paul, how's it going? Haven't heard from you in a while!

Thanks so much for the info on the token! It was a deeeeep target.

Any ideas of what your impression of a "stag lunch" would be?

Hope all is going well with you!

Take care,

Dan

WOW wow WOW wow WOW wow WOW Dan ~ very impressive finds! Silver, Injuns, and wheats are always fun to dig ~ but trade tokens are the icing on the cake! I love digging trade tokens! WOOHOO!!!!!

8^)

Thanks, Neil. I knew you'd like that token. It's so thin too. It was very exciting to dig it up from the depth of 10".

Good Lord Dan!!!
Are you sure you aren't minting silver coins out of your house?
Those suckers are blinding me all the way over here in NC.
Amazing digs big guy.
Congrats buddy,
Doug

Thanks, Doug. No, I'm not minting it...I'm "mining it" I'm hoping you can get a trade token in your area too....that's the real prize of my post this time.

OK, here is my WOW again! LOL Nice finds.

Thanks, Seger! Good luck to you!!

Well Done Dan, your silver and wheat finds for the year are impressive. Thanks for sharing, Continued Success and HH.

Thanks, TopDog!! So far so good....I have gotten off to a great start!

WOW, looks like you did ALOT of digging!
Looks like you could fill a Whitmans folder with all the wheats!
Nice assortment of silver too!
Congrats!

Thanks, TBK! Yep, it takes a lot of digging to pull the deepies! Hmmmm...let's see....49 wheats X 6" average = 24.5 feet of digging....LOL

Very nice finds. I just purchased an SE Pro and I am looking forward to finding some of that good stuff. Seems to be real different than my GTI 2500.

Thanks, Crevias. Yes, I saw that you purchased it from Brett! Yes, it's completely different than your 2500. Just keep using it, and it will reward you!

The passion is being "Kept High" ...

Rock on Daniel Rock On ...

Thanks, Bryce! Man, you're so so close to getting out there, I can smell it all the way over here... I can't wait to see old silver and Injuns from 9-10" depths from you!

Great Finds Dan, Those Mercury dimes look like they were just dropped.

HH, Ringfinder

Thanks, Ringfinder! Yeah, they come out of the ground in pristine condition at this park.

Those are some great finds. Sure don't fine anything like that yet, here in Murphy, NC. But I will keep trying. Congrats on those good looking coins. kas

Really? There's silver everywhere in the US. May not be as much in your area as in S. Cal, but it's gotta be there. Good luck!!

Awsome finds and a great week for sure. Still waiting for the ground to thaw here!

Thanks, LostAtSea! I think you'll be getting out there soon!!

Love all of the silver coins and the token! I can't wait until I get back into hunting! Right now I have been majorly sick with some cold/flu. Plus to make it worse JuJu has gotten the cold/flu but from his neices. We won't be going out until next weekend

Thanks, DF. Sorry to hear that you and JuJu got sick. Get well soon.

great finds, but what happend to the face of Jesus on the pendant?
