Todays finds killed my Lesche...

Today's finds killed my Lesche...

But thankfully my new one arrived! Thanks Rick(NovaScotia) for getting it to me.

I planned to use my old one until it snapped, but the cracks in it make it too flexible to dig a deep target. The "street fair" token/medal was in the alley behind an old house across the street, ground was hard as a rock, and it was 8 inches deep. I started the hole with the old digger...had to finish with the new one. Unfortunately I scratched it, oh well.

Anybody ever seen this before? The design tells me 1900-1930ish.

Also got a crusty silver dime, broken silver/agate ring, an older Canadian penny, and a roman helmet thing.

My cat Willow usually accompanies me when I dig close to home haha...
I see storm clouds rolling in...thank god, I need this ground to soften up!

You can, but you've got to get the coin out before the cat poops-

Next time I'll leave a hole open for her and see what happens hahaha

Good finds.
You got to dig a-lot to break a Lesche.

Ground Conditions were similar here for the past 3+ weeks , Finally got Good rain in the past 2 day's.

I would post pics of the " aggressive rubbing " but this is a family friendly site
Some days, I have to tell him to change his digging clothes though. He scares away permissions I think.

That's disturbing. He probably tries to bury his bone in your hole. Oops, that doesn't sound right! Like you say, this is a "family friendly" site. Ok, I'm off to polish my helmet...

Hey, that's great. Thanks!

Nice , it even has battle marks from being dug we know thats a real find

P.S. Hard to tell how big the helm ornament is, guessing around half dollar size or is it bigger ?

You can see in the group shot it's beside a dime and penny. It might be a bit bigger than a half dollar. I'm pretty sure it's a pin.

Like the finds, especially the helmet. The cat seems in great shape. Thanks for showing.
