Had to Get Out Today.

[ScubaDetector]

Well seeing all the silver and gold on here made me want to get out in the rain to play a little tonight. At least it wasn't raining very hard. Went to a state park near me and played in the woods for a while. My first target screamed at me and I thought I had a big piece of silver. Dug it out of the hole and still thought I had a nice silver half.

Well it fooled me. I got a pendant from Hawthorn Melody Farms in Ill. From my research tonight they were an amusement park from 1907 - 1970. However the state abbreviations to two letters went into effect in 1963. The quarter I found was 1950 and the wheat's were all from the 40's. So I am guessing this pendant is from the 40's. It is aluminum.

Wheats were 41, 42 and 46. 8 aluminum screw caps and nothing else exciting before it stated raining hard again. At least I got out.

Nice hunt. I like the pendant. My wife always ask me why I can hunt in the rain but won't work in it. "Dumb question"

Congrats on digging those 5 keepers. Today would have been a good day to go out here in Ohio.

You must be counting the pendant as two keepers!! LOL thanks.

Thanks all. I really was surprised at finding a silver quarter and that pendant. Silver dimes are hard to come by in this park. Silver quarters almost unheard of.
