Haven't posted for a bit as I have a computer problem and it's a pain to post from my tablet. Got out last Saturday to a favorite park. Didn't find much, but then again, it depends on your perspective. Found 2 Indians including a nice old 1864. Also found 2 toasted shield nickels and a piece of a small silver spoon or fork. An Indian or shield nickel is probably on a lot of bucket lists, but I've found plenty of both. On Ann earlier visit to this park I had also pulled a few Indians in addition to a nice Barber dime and a couple of shield nickels. Again, bucket list items for many. It's probably my 4th or 5th 2 cent piece out of this park and the second this year.
The SLQ came out of the same hole as the nicer Merc at another old park I've been hunting for more than 35 years. Still stuff three.
The 1837 hard times token, my first, came from a door knock.
What checked one off my bucket list is the 1759 pistareen I found on Sunday. A pistareen is an earlier design of the 2 reales. If I have a shot at the banner, the pistareen might be it. Had been driving down the road and spotted a small spot of woods that looked interesting. In addition to the oistareen I also pulled a merc and roosie. You just never know.
