The best find of my life was the birth of my son and first child on Sunday!

Before that I was able to get out on Saturday with my two buddies and we had some good finds.

1943 silver war nickel

Silver thimble

Studebaker corporations tool check token
- this token is awesome with history! It was from the Studebaker corporation at the EMF factory plant #3. I did some research and this plant was used to make the studebakers of course, but the really interesting part is what happened after. Once the studebaker factory was closed they sold it and it was bought by a guy named Henry Ford!! This was the exact plant and factory that was used to make the original model T car. That is pretty!
