November field finds

[Merf]

Greetings friends,
Snow on the ground and 15 degrees out with more snow on the way.
Looks like the field hunting is over for a while. That makes the wife happy--She gave me a honeydo list.
Well here are my recent finds from farm field sites here in northern Illinois.
The bent up silver spoon commemorates the first dormitory for women at NIU.
The Horse button is backmarked Wadhams and co.. Early 1800s I think.
The large cents, two cent piece, and tokens spent some time in the rock tumbler to make them readable.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all, Merf

Those are some beautiful finds there Merf! The 2 center is sweet.

As always great finds Merf.

I don't care what the token says I'm not kissing you....You may have to go to the local senior home to find the person that gave that token out....just watch out for the denture adhesive. I would hate to see you get stuck. LOL

Wow, Merf. You sure went out this year with a BANG!!

Very, very nice field finds!! Like others have said, the 2-Center is a beauty, and the silver spoon is also a very unique find!!

You've got a little of everything a good producing field has to offer!! A job well done!

Congrats, and Happy Holidays!!

Pretty 2 center! I also found an 1864 in november...not as pretty as yours

Open up the museum now Merf...Nice digs all the way around. That 2 center is one of the best I have seen. Even the oil lamp part is in great shape. Cool stuff and let us all hope the winter in the midwest will be short. jgas

nice finds and photos, kind of Andrew Wyeth-esque

 

[DannyBrooks]

Dude....kicking stuff. I love those kind of finds

 

[Merf]

Awesome finds and awesome pics.....

Love the spoon. I wonder if that could be straightened?

That 2-cent piece is beautiful....

I hope the winter isn't too long for you and good luck with the honey-do-list... Mine is growing by the day !!!

--I am going to take the spoon to a jeweler to see if it can be straightend.
I cleaned the fridge and stove today

My Friend,

You have made some Wonderful recoveries--and documented them with some beautiful photos. November was a slow month for us, due to the weather and the holidays--but it looks like you've done very well.

This will be a post that I will look at several more times in the coming weeks. There is nothing like hunting those wide open fields, is there?




Bravo.



Regards,



Buckles

Thanks Gibbsium

Thanks Camb1 --That is the best two center I have ever dug.

Thanks JDD, GC, and Holydiver

 

[Merf]

Wow, Merf!! You done it again!

What a great assortment of really nice finds!!

I really love seeing your pics - the ones with the dirt clods with the finds sticking out, too.

Who would have thought that goods at New York prices was a good thing....

Have fun with that honey do list, and good luck cashing in that token for a kiss!

Thanks Kimsdad


Thanks Baggins, and Silverfreak
