Heard it was supposed to rain today, so rearranged my plans a bit and got out at the park for about 45 minutes. First good signal on the E-Trac was a shallow 11-48 in rocks and roots. :( Worked at it and out popped a big green copper. Picked it up and said, that's not a large cent... and quickly recognized it as a Bank of Canada halfpenny token dated 1854.

That kept me going and then out came a wheat cent, some trash and then an 07-34 that I thought could be an Indian head cent. When I opened the hole, I saw something white that I thought was a piece of styrofoam cup. Instead it was a pretty cool sorority :dontknow: pendant made from shell and possibly gold and enamel. On the back the name Wesley is engraved.

Checked the time and I had time to make a few more passes and was rewarded with a 1935 buffalo nickel and not 5" away from it, a 1943 Mercury dime. :icon_thumright:

I would say you did great. I have hunted a lot longer for a lot less lots of times. Pretty neat finds. Nice that you are dragging them out of a park. I am afraid that our hunts are about done. I sure do dread the thoughts of a long cold winter keeping me inside. Enjoy your time outside for the next few trips.

Nice Canadian Token. My Hunting partner, before he moved back to his home state, dug the same exact kind as that over the summertime! :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumleft: :wink:
 

Great finds for a short hunt, some of my long ones don't catch that, nice silver and half penney, keep at it, Ken.
