I made it into the woods for a handful of short hunts. Nothing amazing, but enough to share.

Got a really deep small hightone at the edge of the woods by an old cellar hole.

This is an advertising token from May’s Drugstore in Pittsburg (correct spelling for this period in our history) from the turn of the century. Here’s the handful of roundness.

Found a pretty cool Tootsietoy race car from 1927 and a milky marble was washed free from an old plug.

One of my sites was a spoon hotspot.

Fun to find one real baby spoon then an improvised one. The scalloped piece is the bowl from a candy scoop from a once famous turn of the century Pittsburgh candy store, Reymers.

A couple harmonica reeds.

Lead washer.

Broke the bank and bought a 6” coil for the Nox. Should be here in time for the weekend. I have half a dozen sites worthy of super slow tiny coil work, hopefully I’ll have some cool stuff to share from the tiny coil.

Good luck out there!
