Lunchtime hunt at new old farm site. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1493317651.189977.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1493317665.750510.jpg
Much of the site was groomed into the park, some relics still in the woods.

Best find is the 1917 dog license/tag and actually the 1911 d wheat came out of the soil nice and green and not toasted. Interesting how some copper coins in same town are toasty, some not. I'm at 21 silvers and 71 wheats for the year.
The lead dude has an M on his fanny pack. Anyone know this mfg and time frame? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1493317879.286694.jpg
Also my first rounded flat button or round button, not sure of proper term. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1493317978.500187.jpg
Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

Dang, you're beating me 21 to 5 on silver and 71 to 13 on Wheaties but I'm also searching city woods that probably been hunted a few times. I need to start getting outside the city.

Wheats and Indians confuse me too, some are nice and most are crusty.

Great treasures, PDNS,

whats left of your lead figure was a Manoil blacksmith fixing a wagon wheel, circa late 1940's.

Awesome dog tag, that one is a beauty. I like the 1911-d wheat too, if you're going to find a wheatie in good shape, it sure should be an early date with a mintmark. Woot!
