Sorry all it's been awhile since my last post. Still hunting my backyard, but I upgraded my tracker IV to an AT pro and also purchased a propointer. Haven't had a lot of time to post so I'm lumping my hunts so far this season. (And in MN the season is short!) This is a collection of pics from my ''keepers'' this summer.

You're having a great summer of finds so far - I'd be super happy with all that - and this is all from your yard ?
 

Your "horse & lion" button is a British general service military button The horse is actually a unicorn.

George...
 

Those are some good finds.
 

now that's an impressive haul from your yard!, congrats
 

My yard sucks! All I got was a Chuck E Cheese token!
 

Nice catch on the V nickel and airplane, both are in really nice shape.
 

Dang how come everyone else's' V-nickels look so nice?!!! Great assortment you found sir.
 

All from my yard, haven't hunted anywhere else yet. Still have at least two acres left to go over. Did just get permission to hunt a one room schoolhouse from early 1900's, can't wait to get there.
 

Thanks for the info on the unicorn and lion button.

I have looked everywhere for these Chuck E Cheese tokens. What settings are you using to find them?

Very nice set of finds LR3! The V nickels are in really nice shape. Congrats!
 

Nothing wrong at all with those finds, actually pretty Sweet and all from your yard. And you still have two acres to go, Awesome.
Have you hit the area more then once that you've already hit? Good Luck with the rest of the yard and that one room school house property!!
 

Those v nickels are in nice shape
 

Great yard you have there, and some really nice saves.
 

some nice collectibles, there is a buyer for all of them!!!
