I got out today for a bit and had a great day!! I hunted around a tree at a vacant lot and got a great signal two inches down. That’s when I found the Mardi Gras medallion from 1910. I really was not expecting that!! A little while later, I swung over by another tree and found a pill bottle full of memorials and wheats. After emptying my little cache, out come the token from Kessler Air Force Base!! Completely unexpected!! It was a really good way to end a bad week.

Nice finds Jay. My brother (who was career Air Force) and my son were both stationed at Keesler AFB at one time. Those are 2 very nice find.

I've noticed with metal detecting sometimes when it feels it can't get any worse it can get good! Congrats on persisting!

I like that token! I used to fly down there from Fort Rucker Alabama when I was in the Army. There’s a lot of nice folks down that way.
