Greetings fellow T Netters.
The weather has been cooperating and have been hunting every chance I get.
Here are my recent finds. The clay marble is just over an inch in diameter.
The picture of the disc sticking out of the dirt is the token.
I think it is my shallowest find so far. LOL
The mangled spoon is thin silver.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all, Merf

The rest and a good reason to not dig with your hands.

Merf, you did some very good diggin today, or whenever you did it. Congratulations on finds I only wish I could make.
 
Great hunt merf. It would take me three or four hunts to come up with that much stuff.....three or four good hunts that is. :wink: I like the token thingy with the hole in it. :thumbsup:
 
Gosh, you really found some nice things out in that field. . . That Seated and those Indians are spectacular!
Are there any structure remnants of an old homestead near there?

There's got to be A LOT more out there. . . Take care,

Great stuff Merf. I wonder if that is a token or a medal? Is that a plumb bob? Love the coins too. Bongo

Thanks Bongo-----That last pic is of the end of a hypodermic needle that I dug up.
Luckily I was using a shovel.
