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.

I think it is fun to pick up out-of-towners.
Good scores.

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:
