One Sweet Blue Saphire

ringfinder · Nov 6, 2006

Hi all, here are my finds for this weekend and today. I found this Blue Saphire pin in a woods way out in nowhere. You just never know what your going to find. The buffalo nickel is a 1937, 2 cent piece 1865, 2 silver quarters 1941 & 1956, Indian head penny 1891, rosy dime 1947, a token and it reads Shoemaker & Spurlock, Good for Five in Trade, a silver bracelet and a Button with a Coon Dog on it, found this at a one room school house today in a field.

What a great weekend, hope yours was just as great, HH, Ringfinder

Those are fantastic finds! You had a great weekend. I am envious as I love hunting the woods and older places. You struck it rich with great finds. Hit it some more, there is more there. Congrats and I hope you post more good finds from that place.

The attribution of the Shoemaker & Spurlock token to Corona, NM has been retracted by Billy Kiser in his Second Edition of NM Trade Tokens. I have found the Ohio Machine Company, makers of vending machines in Toledo, OH, was operated by Wm. Shoemaker & John Spurlock 1911-14.

Thank you for the information on the token Idahotokens. Do you know what they used it for, was it like a company token or what? Thanks again for the info. HH< Ringfinder

Somebody please help me understand how a post from 2006 gets responded to today ? How /Why does that happen ? I see this periodically,
and I am genuinely mystified as to why ? Anybody

Idahotokens was dropping a notification in the thread that the attribution he had posted had been retracted by the original source. For future reference its a useful bit of info. What's interesting is that he could remember that it was posted in this thread after 8 years.
