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
