A Walker, a Washington, 2 Mercuries, a nice artifact, and a pile of clad

Johncoho · Dec 28, 2018

I was able to get out on a hunt in downtown Phoenix and had a good day with some nice finds. 103 clad coins, a few odds and ends, a 1936 - 1937 chauffeur license badge for California, 1942d Mercury dime, 1939d Mercury dime, 1942s Washington quarter, 1942 Wheat penny, and a 1936 Walking Liberty half dollar. As you can see the soil here is not kind to coins. A little cool early in the morning but warmed up nicely. The odds and ends were a suspender buckle, an accordion reed, a 42 Wheat, a play money quarter, a heart shaped tag for a dog, and several keys. I counted the aluminum bottle caps I dug after coming home and there were 64 of them. They just give a signal that I can't seem to ignore, even though it jumps around a lot.

This location has a lot of potential as I only searched a fraction of it. Thanks for looking and stay warm out there.

Damn... that's a butt load of targets. I'm guessing you're a little worn out from all that digging. Congrats on a bunch of very nice finds.

Man that was a killer hunt! If you got all that after only hunting a fraction of this location I can’t imagine what you will find in the future!! Congratulations and I can’t wait to see what you find next :icon_thumleft:

It did wear this old man out, but it was worth it.

I think that is one of the coolist things I have recovered in awhile. I really do like it. I'm guessing that the owner would have been born around 1915
