2 bucket listers at our fav park today!

[Lenrac2]

Today we headed to our fav park with the goal of sneaking something out of all the iron on the end of the park we dubbed the junkyard. I think we did alright! Got our first heelplate! It is so small! Maybe a kids? Also think we got our first tombac flat button! It is different than the others we've found and has the grooves on the back. Also scored a 1904 V nickel! Also an old fishing weight, rimfire shell and some bell thing. Not shown, so much iron! I'm glad we gave it a good try! Thanks!
