Naughty Token from the Sierras

[oldmxrat]

Hunted a little lake up in the Sierras where I found my first mercury dime last year. Nothing too exciting besides the naughty token and a couple of wheats, one is trashed and the other, which I managed to ding, is a 1917. The junk ring is a 14k "gold shell", a designation I haven't seen before. It sure had me going for a minute!

Other junk includes fishing weights, marble, a bilge plug, ammo and clad. The marble has a gold iridescence to it.



Cool looking lichen on the trees there.

Gold shell? Interesting as it sure looks good! I bet I've found a dozon of those heads/tails tokens over the years. Thanks for posting.

Great looking ring find, too bad it wasn't the real deal.
Thanks for posting the pic of the lichen on the tree, it's always interesting to see what the area looks like that you're detecting.
