I went out for an hour and a half after work last night. I hit mowed areas as far away from the farm house as possible since the lawn looked so nice.
I probably dug 200 holes around this place this past winter/spring, but must have done a great job restoring my holes
Anyway, I dug this 1939 Radio Orphan Annie decoder which appears to be in pretty nice condition, but I'm not sure that it is fully intact. Looks like it might have had a back plate? Any info on these is appreciated as I am mainly a colonial / early American digger.
I also dug a large cent. As usual, I went from the euphoria of seeing it in the dirt, to the despair of realizing it was toast
The reins guide rounded out my finds. Thanks for any looks, likes, and comments
UPDATE: Further research has answered my question. The Decoder Pin is only missing the steel pin that must have rusted away. I'll have to clean it better and see what my "Official Number" is
