The Fields are Alive with Pickers & Combines, Detectors and The Eagle Has Landed

Hi all, I know it's been awhile since Gary and I posted, but it's been a busy summer. Finally the Corn and Beans are coming out of the fields at a record pace here in Ohio.

Gary and I have been hitting some of our hunt sites and most of them have been paying off. We got out Friday and Sunday and we both found some really nice finds.

One of my finds at a Ghost town near were I live was a Eagle Head. I think it might be brass, I'm not sure if I want to clean it up too much. It still has wood in it from I suppose wooden stanza. Really not sure how old it is, but it sure was a GREAT find.

I also found in the same field 6 IH's 1882, 1887,1887,1891,1904 & 1906. A shielded nickel 18??, two buffalo nickels, one no date and the other 1936, a Mercury dime, no date, a Washington 1941 Quarter, five wheat penny's 1919,1944, 1951 D, 1951 D & 1955 D. I also found a 1951 Dog Tag, 3 buttons, one says Pay Day on it, 2 sleigh bells, one home made and the other can't read the number and a Token that has a picture of New York City hall on it and that writing, with a Liberty picture on the front, no date.

Gary found many items at another site and at the Ghost town site. They are as follows. Three IH penny's 1888 ( no 8 over the 7 ), 1892 & 188?, one wheat penny 1916, a Seated Half Dime 1841, a Barber Dime 1899, a Large Cent, no date, a 1841 Mint Drop coin, not sure what this is yet. A good luck token from the VFW National Home, 1933, a Handihook, a token worth 5 Cents in Trade and a Toy Train.

I gotta say, I sure love this fall weather we are having here in the Great State of Ohio.

Hope you all are doing just as well. HH, Ringfinder

I am including pictures of our finds, plust some of the junk from the fields.

Is that eagle from a walking cane? Pretty neat stuff, nice coins too.

That is one mighty impressive eagle you have there! If I had all the coins you found, I'd trade you for it even ;D

Take care,

It could be a handle for a cane, I just don't know. It is pretty heavy.

Thanks for your queston though.

Yep...looks like a cane-topper. Nice haul there! Could you post a close-up of the mint drop tag when you get a chance?

Here are the pictures of the Drop Coin and The New York coin

Thanks for your interest. HH, Ringfinder

P.S. The drop coin is not gold, I couldn't get a better shot, camera went dead.

You guys did great ~ SUPER NICE FINDS!!!! WTG!!!
 
Re: The Fields are Alive with Pickers & Combines, Detectors and The Eagle Has Landed

Really great bunch of finds. That cane topper is just wonderful,a real treasure. I would shine and polish that thing up,I bet it will look sweet. Maybe you can get that woodspirit carver guy to make you a neat cane to fit it :},HH...Shoot
 
Re: The Fields are Alive with Pickers & Combines, Detectors and The Eagle Has Landed

Wow you guys did great on finding those lost treasures.
You found a good assortment of coins and other treasures.
I have never seen a large cent without an actual date, unless it has been worn off.
That one just looks like it never got stamped with a date. Very interesting.
Got to find some of them good corn fields. LOL
 
Re: The Fields are Alive with Pickers & Combines, Detectors and The Eagle Has Landed

Wow! Great bunch of treasure there guys! Some nice unusual finds too!

Re: The Fields are Alive with Pickers & Combines, Detectors and The Eagle Has Landed

What an excellent site(s)! Those are fantastic finds and I love the eagle head! Great job .Hope you are still hunting it and going to be showing us more!
 
Re: The Fields are Alive with Pickers & Combines, Detectors and The Eagle Has La

Some great stuff Denny. I have never seen anything like that mint drop coin. Guess it's a "hard times token". Very cool.

Tell Gary for me that he done well. ;D

The fall is great other than the weeds and stuff still make it hard hunting some areas.
