Two hunts this weekend and one "Coinstar" raid yielded some interesting finds.
Hunt on 10/13 with John got me one of those strange Zodiac sign tokens
.
John managed a 1945P war nickel to be his first silver of the day. We then left for a school site in Baltimore city. Built in 1930, this school held promise of some older finds. Not for me, but John did well with another silver....1953 Washington. I did make out well on clad quarters and also dug this cereal box token
.
It served me well as a practical joke when John came over to see what I had. I just held it up and announced "silver dollar"!
Later that day on a run to the grocery store I checked the Coinstar to finds a modern Jefferson nickel and this proof-like coin from Canada
.
On to today and I met up with Jamie at the famed "Indian Hill" at a Baltimore City park. I did pull the first Indian and it cleaned up well, revealing a coin that must have been
dropped in 1903.
. This one somehow escaped getting toasted by the soil conditions; it was only about 4 inches deep. The other IHC I dug came from 8 inches and does not have a readable date.
My last target of the day turned out to be a relic, a keyhole escutcheon
.
Never dug one of these. It bears a style not unlike these two examples
.
So a good weekend of hunting with friends. Congrats to John for his silvers and Jamie for his gold!
