Lucky Horseshoe Led Me to 5 Silvers

[washingtonian]

Hey everyone!

I hope you’ve had a good weekend. I got out for several hours today and am glad I did.

I started out early in the day by finding a horseshoe. I can’t remember the last time I found one of these. Probably more than a decade ago.



It was in a tiny front yard. I’m not sure if it is from a game of horseshoes or if this was actually worn by a horse. I’m leaning toward the former but I’m not sure. Here are some additional photos.



Anyways, my first site didn’t pan out much so I moved on to a backup. Good grief I’m glad I did!!

Here are some of the best finds:


The tally:
-1942 Washington Quarter
-1928-S Mercury Dime
-1956-D Roosevelt Dime
-1957-D Roosevelt Dime
-1964-D Roosevelt Dime
-10 Wheat Pennies including a 1910
-A 1913 “Fifty Cents” Contributors Medal from the Rose Festival in Portland, Oregon

Here are some close ups of the token:


One of my cooler tokens for sure.

Here are some other odds and ends I uncovered too.


All things considered, a pretty awesome and amazing day. It blew my expectations out of the water!

Heading to Chicago to work tomorrow so no detecting from me for a little bit. Good luck out there this week!

Man you had an awesome day my friend!
Congrats on those beautiful silvers, love the personalized license plate too.

The 'horseshoe' you found is from a game not a horse.

PS. This is an interesting looking bell, looks to have some age to it

Haha, thanks. I figured but I'm certainly not an expert. I'm not sure on the history of the bell! It was on top of the ground in front of a 1920s teardown.

I guess so! Haha. I didn't find any silver in my first couple hours and was just hoping for a single merc so this really blew my expectations out of the water.
