I like how the grass is flat after 3 months of snow packing. The great thaw has occurred, turf is in perfect hunt and plug mode.
Pounded a new permission, guys lawn was loaded with coins, mostly wheats and a few silvers..old nickels too.

Also got onto a previous ok, got deep with the Maxx, and wait, what?

Ok, so it’s not a coin, but a token....a Hard Times Token!:headbang: 1834! I don’t see a hole in it at all, so fuggedaboudit.

Never expected to find one, hard enough time for me to find a LC.

Finally, I squeaked out a few IHP’s all green and pretty.... but there a secret mixed in the stash.

One old Indian was very crusty, didn’t make an effort to ID a date for a week. Get my toothpick out.... 186.....4.....!!! Omg, be careful.
Yup 1864 ....WITH THE “L”. It’s there on the ribbon, might be the best coin I’ve ever found.
