Managed to get out for a short time today with Oberkill. It started getting miserable real fast once the wind picked up and the wet mud made your fingers numb. I did manage to get a few keepers though along with the 1/2 dozen shotgun shells.

The first find was this neat token of some sort. A little web research says it is a circa 1890 token for the Parry Buggie company. I really wasn't expecting it to be over 100 years old since it came out of the ground in such good shape. Copper usually gets ate up pretty good in my neck of the woods.

This was all the keepers. A .58 minie, what I think is a buck from a buck and ball (has one flat edge), and the token.

Thats a neat token Grib! I used rubber gloves under my jersey gloves, my hands not only stay dry but clean. I know what you were putting up with as John and I hunted Sunday. Tsgman
 

A coin with the Iron Cross on it? I've never seen that before. Nice find.
