I went back to the same woods I hit yesterday and it was a beautiful day out besides finding the silvers, I got a 64 Washington, a no date King George Canadian dime, a sterling ring, King George Canadian cent, couple memorials, a screw on thingy that has a bunch of 08 & 09 patent dates that says Toronto Can, shotgun shell and a Harriet Hubbard Ayer Famous Toilet Preparations lid . The silver quarter and dime were in the same hole. I need more days like this.

Here's some info on Harriet Hubbard Ayers:

Harriet Hubbard Ayer (1849-1903) was born in Chicago, Ill., married at the age of 16, lived the life of a wealthy society matron until 1882, then separated from (and eventually divorced) her husband, and became a business woman. She manufactured a facial cream called Recamier Cream, named for the famous French beauty, Madame Juliette Récamier (1777-1844).

Harriet Hubbard Ayer's entry in Who's Who in America, 1901, reads: "Ayer, Harriet Hubbard, journalist, author; b. Chicago, 1854; d. Henry G. and Juliet Elvira Hubbard; grad. Sacred Heart Convent, Chicago, 1869; m. Chicago, 1869, Herbert Copeland Ayer (died, 1899). Born and reared in luxury, married at 16 to man of large wealth; society leader; extensive traveler, linguist, woman of fashion. In 1883 husband failed for over $2,000,000. She voluntarily gave up her home and all her belongings for benefit of her husband's creditors, and went into trade; established mfg. business; cleared $200,000 in 4 yrs. Ill health forced her to give up management of business, which lost money from the date of her retirement. In 1894 retired from commercial life to accept editorial position on New York World; has educated her daughters in best European schools and has maintained her family without aid; now the highest paid woman journalist in U. S.

In 1893 Harriet Hubbard Ayer lost control of her company when her daughter and ex-husband had her committed to a mental asylum. Although she was released a year later, her career in the cosmetics industry ended at that time, and she then became a journalist, writing a column on beauty advice for the New York World.
