Good evening everyone. Been having problems uploading my pics so I had to do it through my laptop which was a little time consuming. . Found a new place in the little town where my Grandmother grew up at. I actually obtained permission to hunt where she lived in the 1920's. My great, great grandfather here came here from Indiana lived there at one time. Then my Grandmother and Grandfather. I will post some pictures of the place later as I didn't have my camera that day. I do usually post pics of my finds because it makes it more interesting to the viewer like you. I'll have to clean the coins too. Sorry but been real busy lately. The first signal in the front yard was a 1905 Indian. Then I found my first marble. Then another Indian, a 1909. Found 10 wheat's, the oldest a 1914, 1917, some 20's, 30's and 1944 being the newest. I found 2 unique tokens which I am very happy for because one of them is a local token. This town didn't have much of a population through out history and only has about 300 some inhabitants today. The first token is brass and reads: Columbus Confection Co. On the back it reads: Accepted subject to restrictions. The other token reads: Good for 5 cents in merchandice. On the other side it reads: Mons place, Woodstock Ohio. Found an old key that is 5 inches long, a hot wheels Nissan 240Z car, a Uncle Sam play quarter from 1958, 3 shotgun shell brass bottoms. One is UMC Co. Nitro, a Peters Repeater, and a Federal cartridge. Found a 1945 Merc, a handfull of clad (a couple of dollars worth). Found a pocket watch face.....Age?? All in all I had a good hunt on a nice spring day. Was happy to be out and not digging frozen ground. Thanks for looking and have a happy hunting day........if you get out :icon_sunny: Ron Smith

Thanks Juju. Now I have a cut on my right index finger that hurts like heck. Not as bad as your's was. I can't even type with that finger
 

Ron,
Great assortment of finds. Those IH's are in probably EF condition when you clean them up. I love digging nice IH pennies.

Tokens and play money are sweet too. I found a "play penny" today.

It's great to be out in the mild weather digging again. :icon_sunny: I've been really busy too so getting out is really a nice break.

Looks like a very successful hunt, Ron!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

PS - Your '09 Injun wouldn't happen to have an "S" mintmark on the bottom of the reverse, would it?

Thanks Bob. See you had a nice time with Doug and triple seven. Look forward to some of your finds this year. Maybe we can hook up sometime and hunt some of my spots. Ron

Nice group of finds. Too bad the 1909 wasn't an "S". A little info on your shotgun brass, the UMC Nitro is pre 1932, black powder as after that date they went to smokeless powder.
keep on diggin,

Les
 

Morning Ron, nice finds there bud. The soil is indeed very kind to your IH's, the 1909 looks to be in really good shape. Neat token & the uncle sams coin is the first one I've seen. Congratulations on a great hunt! Nice post & photos!


Chris
 

I'll say you have good soil. Those indians look great. I wish we had soil that good. :thumbsup:

Ummmm, token!
 

one thing ive noticed, when i start finding the old brass shotgun shells, i start finding coins.. the person must be digging into his pocket for the shell and pop out the money ;D
