Back to the "Mini - Hunts": Couple War Nickels, Large Cent, Barber Dime

I have been working this week but I got up early and went out to my spot the last couple days and managed to bring home a meager little handful of items. (Lot's of square nails driving me insane there!!) Got my first and second "War" nickels though. Also dug a 1917 Canadian cent and another Barber dime - 1899. Another token to add to the collection as well. (LOTS of tokens in this spot! Over 20 so far and I don't see an end anytime soon..) Found another old marble too. Those are so cool-looking and beats the heck out of the ones I see in the department stores today. Also no end to the amount of rusty whatsits to dig - LOL!

Hope everyone is keeping cool in this hot summer! Thanks for reading and Happy Hunting! :icon_thumright:

Great finds. Are all the tokens different?

Sweet finds. The Mini - Hunts are paying off. Seems like there are quite a few Barbers being unearthed. I just got one last week. Keep swinging and Happy Hunting.

Great looking Canadian Large Cent :icon_thumright:

Love the penguin watch or key fob too.
With all those square nails at least you know the area's really old :laughing7:

Thanks! The green one all the way on the left?? You are joking right? It's beat all to heck and back! LOL To answer the second question: Nope. that one came out of the ground like that. I was very careful with it and it was damaged before I had a chance to scratch it up myself. :wink:

Appreciate the kind comments! Yep! All the tokens have been different so far except two small ones that say "Cigarettes 10 cents" on them. I've been very fortunate that this spot has so many differing one in it.

Thanks! I was perplexed when I dug the Canadian cent up as I didn't know what the heck it was at first. Never saw one like it before. The "Key Fob" thing is actually a Cracker Jack prize made of plastic/whatever.

Great finds!!! :thumbsup:

For some reason I have a hard time finding war nickels - in three years I have dug only one. You've got two in one hunt! :thumbsup:

When I saw that penguin, I was thinking CJ prize, too. That's a great find & I like it more than the marbles, but there's no accounting for some folks taste, is there?
