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!
