Today's Finds

I went to an area where some largies and a silver pocket spill has been found in the last couple days. I was not disappointed. But I got no silver! What I did get was very tired from hacking through 3 inches of frost :o. The first thing I dug was a pewter serving spoon bowl, then in another spot, I got a 1916-D.......... wheaty :'(. Then a 1927 wheaty followed that, then a Birth year wheat. What came next was a token, it's about the size of a half dollar, It was lightly soiled so when I got home I heated up the peroxide and had at it. It celebrates 50 years of Ford Motor Company, on the other side it has a radiator with V-8 inside it. This is the second one of this type that I have found, ever. If you look closely, you will see some luster around the letters. I also found a very crusty skeketon key......NGE

Re: Today's Finds

Once you break out the ice, the soil is easy to dig. I might go buy a small pick-axe for my next hunt. The perma-frost here is about 1 inch. Nice finds though. Glad you got out of the house ;D

Thats a nice ford token. I found one a few years ago and it was in rough shape so I gave it to my hunting partner. :thumbsup:

Good hunting and nice find. I found one like that here in Ohio a while back.

Here is the pic for comparison. Yours is nicer.
