Junk 'n' stuff from a couple of good days!
I happened upon a medium sized park-like area while driving around the other day. I thought dreamed about it for a day and then decided to try it out. While I was there, I stumbled onto an un-hunted (apparently) section that spit out six dimes and unbelievably, a '37 buff in decent shape.
I felt like I was in a carnival game "Step right up, a prize in every hole!" Except there really was a good prize in almost every hole! 
I hope everyone gets a chance to experience a hunt like this one!
The Quarter and the 57 dime next to it are from a separate farmhouse hunt with Watercolor.
The ring is corroded copper stamped 18K with just a tiny glint of the gold plating at the stamp. It's going back to the homeowner who will appreciate it as a historic artifact from the old farmhouse property. She is really interested in the history of the property. We are going to present her with a relic display of the things we find there.
Got this key at the farm, too.
It's from Irwin's Fair Stores. Here's an article from 1902 that sounds like it might be the same place, as it mentions Clark St:
