2014 has started off slow, but it's finally kicking in. I went back to the site where I dug my first token of the year (my last post), with Field Mouse, who is still kicking my but token-wise. About 20 minutes into the hunt, this popped out. At first I thought it was a large aluminum token, from the 1940's. But when I felt the weight of it in my hand, I got excited. it's a 1922-D Peace dollar, and my first one of that type. I've been lucky to dig three Morgans, (one horribly corroded), but the Peace has alluded me for a good long time. After leaving that site, we drove around, hitting other areas with little luck. Stopping by a construction site, and while walking around the outside fence area, I spied a small pile of bottles, with one Hutch. It was manufactured in Colorado, (Colorado City Glass Co.), from 1889-1893. It has a letter "M" in a horseshoe shaped slug plate. can't find any info on it. The other Hutch is a nice "Simmons and Hansen" Hutch, from the early 1890's. The small Scholtz medicine is common, as well as the A.L. Murdock, Liquid Food, but it's a nice 12 sided amber, so it's a keeper. Finally got the Hutch Monkey off my back, now I just gotta go back!
