Found this token at an old cellar hole I have been pounding, somehow missed this one.

Tokens with dates are cool, 1935 not too old, but Washington State? Found in PA.

Hit another cellar trying out some “sifting” advice, lower power to 18, Field2, leave iron horseshoe on but low tone and try to squeak out a mid or high tone. Found these 2 complete suspender buckles and also the overall button and toasty IHP with this method at a site I have gone over a dozen times.

Found a pretty cool religious pendant and a brass ring with designs at a park.

My wife actually found this whiskey bottle at our local park after a storm. I find these broken brown bottles at about every one of my sites, but this is the first intact one. Yeah wife!

Actually, the piece that intrigues me the most is the 3.2 oz piece of lead. Seems intentionally cast, but no markings. Found over a foot deep at my oldest site in the remnants of an apple orchard.

Good luck out there!

Southwestern PA was the Rye capital of the world back in the 1800s when Rye was more popular than Bourbon.
 
Definitely a nice bunch of keepers. Congrats
