A Hunters Dream!! Merc's, IH's,Tokens, Rings, GAR Reunion Medallion, Day Two!!!

Hi all, Gary, the owner and myself got back out to that "DREAM" site. We hunted all day today. Started off by taking the owner out for breakfast then off to the Dream Site. We had another fantastic Day. The owner found a really nice 1899 Barber Dime, a IH and a few wheat penny's. Sorry no Half Dollars today.

Gary found a bunch of coins and tokens. He didn't leave them with me, so I can't show you or tell you all he found. I know he found a Franklin half and 2 Mercury dimes, a Roosevelt dime and a bunch of wheat pennies.

I really had another Great day. My finds are as follows. 1-Strange Key, 2-K tokens Good For 5 cents in Trade, a 1910 Barber Dime, 1948 Roosevelt Dime, two 1888 IH's,
Wheat's 1911, '13,'45,'35,'44,'19,'45,'41,'30,'42,'38,'46, & 1928. 1-Token Good For 2 Years Prosperity in Ohio, Cooper Lucky Pocket Piece, 1-Sterling Lindy Stone Ring, 1-Costume Jewelry Ring and 3 buttons, 1-ring and Best Of all a GAR Reunion Coin, 37 Annual Encampment Dept. Of Ohio Marietta 1903.

What a Fantastic Day Again, the finds where a little harder to find this time around, but we only have a few days left till the place is sold.

Hope everyone found there pot of Gold Today or hope it's going to be under your coil in the future.

HH, Ringfinder

Re: A Hunters Dream!!! Half Dollars, Merc's, IH's, Tokens, Rings!! "Part Two"

Great finds, MANY finds. And, good timing.
Will you be able to do any more hunting before it is off-limits? >:( I hope so, for you and those you are taking to the place.
Well, if it doesn't remain open to you, and metal detecting, then you will find another place that will produce some great artifacts and coins. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the reply, we only have a couple days left to hunt, so have to hit it hard. Hope we find another great spot, we just have to do some research. Have to get out the old 1860's plat maps and research, research, research!!!!

That gar medal is awesome.

I'd take him out to breakfast to hunt a site like that. It's rare to get the chance nowadays to find a nice untouched site. I'm sure someone is going to strike something really good out there.
