I haven't been finding much in coins lately but I got the 1944-D Mercury Dime. Here's some of the other things I dug.
The mosquito's are really thick over in Oronoco, Mn.
I dug 8 or more inches for the mercury dime and the mosquito's were attacking me. I had sweet running down my face and I could feel them hitting me like dive bombers and would rub my hand over my face to get rid of them. Then I would use my shirt sleeve to wipe the sweet and mud off my face. After a couple of hours I had enough and left.
The lamp wick adjuster nob says DIETZ CO S.C.
The little lock was gold gilt at one time.

Cool finds !!! I like the lock. We've got baby misquitoes here compared to the hummingbird variety you've up there. My mom was from Hibbing, (she used to babysit Bob Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan. Isn't that wierd?) and I remember going up for reunions when I was young ( a long time ago ) and those flying blood suckers were huge. HH Gene
