The marbles are getting bigger & older, Wheats and Relics, Nickels and more

[8Reales]

Got a chance to meet up with McCDig, he shared some info on a field where he has been having lots of luck finding old coins and flat buttons, I only stayed for about an hour, I managed a 1943 War nickel and an old suspender clip. The spot is very promising and hope to go back soon when the weather gets better.

The next finds come from the other park i been hitting lately , once again the wheats and nickels showed up, but not the silver, 12 wheats, 1906 Indian, 1911 V nickel, dateless buff, 1941 Nickel, 1944 War Nickel ( only silver ), A small pin with a heart that im pretty sure is military but not certain. The lead showed up in the form of 2 wounded soldiers that i repaired using crazy glue, a large fishing weight probably from a fishing net. This leads me to the marbles a clay bennington being the oldest, a large shooter with a colorful swirl pattern that sadly is breaking a part, a smaller shooter and finally six regular sized marbles that are as much fun to find as any metal object.

I love finding marbles.. That is a great bunch of finds!! The pin with the heart in it appears to be a pin of a Mothers Flag. Ive just never seen one with a star in a heart. My wife had a flag in the window when I was deployed. The heart breaker is when you see one with a gold star. That means the mother lost someone in combat.

Lol, I almost lost all hope, this area has given up nearly 90 wheats, 3 Indians, 1 Flying Eagle, close to 40 Old nickels, ( Vs, Buffs, War and Early Jeffs )
And a Single silver dime and it has a Rosey. I think they had a rule that no one with 90% silver coins could play in the park.

Very sad indeed, I think I have found both varieties

Awesome finds! I love the marbles and lead soldiers. I saw the big one on the left with a $200 price tag at an antique shop I go to (and sell at). Awesome finds
