Weather was generally terrible this week, 50 mph winds one day, 4" snow the next, but was able to get out enough for a handful of finds.
Nickels around here come out with a pretty heavy crud, so I do a quick rub above the dome.

When I see a "P" I smile, actually 2 identical War nickels this week, silvers 8 & 9 FTY.
Here is the handful.

I like finding these old vending machine tokens, usually helps with researching the site. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1523056891.290690.jpg
My favorite this week is the pair of un-identified "Calvary" lead soldiers

Here is a pic of a typical site in the old park woods.

That wall looks exactly like the one at my dads. You wouldn't happen to know the time period would you? And nice finds.

I really like those horsemen! I'd want to display the nicer of the two (one with the head) if I would've found them. Congrats on the war nickels and token, those are always cool.
