greetings all!....usually only post in the Michigan forum, but this was an exceptional day for me! I spent a coupon my wife made for me for Father's day(day pass for detecting) and made the most of it being gone from about 7am till about 8pm. The walker, a silver washington, 2 mercs, 2 indians, and the world's fair token all came from a small town baseball field that my buddy FFD invited me to after having some luck there. the rest of the finds came from a couple of yards out in the country. The 2 center (1865) and shield nickel (1868) were only a couple of inches apart. Ended up with 25 wheats, 4 tokens, 5 silver, 2 indians, the 2 center and the shield nickel, plus some neat relics, thanks for looking all HH, Griff
