Shipwreck Tag & Large Cent

[WawaDuane]

First day out since returning from Wisconsin to see Metallica...hasn't stop raining there or here for a long time. Went out to my regular spot but once again wandered farther and farther away from the main area.


I was lucky to find another tag from "The City of Owen Sound"...which ran aground here in 1884 and sank later and was raised and sank again...quite the story. This is the third tag I have found from that ship. You can read about all the bad luck this ship had here.

King Edward large cent...he was only King for a few years so his coins are a little harder to find.




Flat button fun.



Other finds.




Copper nugget.




I did go out yesterday in the rain....not much luck...loonies and grommets.

Nice finds. Very interesting about the ship wreck. Loonies aren't bad to find. That's a dollar a pop.

Nice finds! I found one of those large cents here in New York! It's a 1909.

Very nice finds. Really like the ship tag and the backmark on the Rich Orange flat button.
Nice transition from Metallica in your ears to listening for faint signals in your headphones
