10-21 and 10-24 Hunts

[DPBOB]

Haven't been on much nor have I been out much....
With this crappy weather and my painful body and being sick in the beginning of the week doesn't give me time to go out.
Plus I have been working overtime at work so I get up around 10:30 in the morning...Then back to work...

I did get out for about 1/2 hour on the way home from HomeDepot on Wed.
Hit what was an old farm house that is been gone
for about a year now.. I got a wheat penny first.. Minutes later I got this cool Climax #4 lock... I found a bigger one years ago just like it...
About 20 minutes later I dug my very first #8 SILVER THIMBLE... With the initials M.L.G engraved on it.. Always wanted to find one and now I can say that I have....Cool....

Today after watching my daughter play her last soccer game ,on the cold windy field,
I decided I wanted to go do some M D.
Called Kimsdad to see if he was out and if he wasn't I knew WaterColor probably would be so I would meet up with him..
Turns out they were just both heading out so I met up with them....

I was on the side of this big hill when I got this decent signal so I dug it...
First to come out of the hole was the Medal with a bird on it.... Any Idea's what it might be....
Rechecked the hole and the dirt and still got another signal and found the big round disc with the probe...
I didn't even look at it yet cause I knew it was some token....
Showed it to Mark and Neil a little while later and Mark got to see what is was before I even had chance to look at it...
All I remember him saying was " Move out of the light "
Turn out to be a Boy Scout Token.... I wish I knew the year though....Found some on ebay real cheap but they don't give an age.

Enjoy.....

Cool finds Bob! Is there a hallmark inside the thimble? I've been doing a lot of research on them since finding mine last week.
WTG!

Great finds, Bob!!!

That thimble is cool! I can't wait 'til I find my first.

Todays finds are great, too! Looks like you were the only one of the three of us who had a good find. I wonger what that locket is...

Love the lock, Bob. I got the same style lock earlier this year, but with a different design. Great finds!

Great job bud, love the thimble!!!! Yea see if you can see any markings inside of it. I found this thimble last year and on the inside it has "Sterling" a "star" and "7". And yours looks fancier than mine, I bet its sterling silver too.

Bob, that thimble is sweet
The "7" on the inside might be a reference to it's size.

The Scout token is just as nice!. . . I think his "good deed" that day
was loosing it on the side of that hill so you could find it

I'm glad one of us got something cool
