Hello, hunted two schools, and and park today about a hour in each, found something pretty cool what do you call them?, a leavenworth bavarian village brass or copper ?what is it? off of something i don't know, found it on the edge of a sidewalk, also found a neat angel please help indentify what this is for? looks like silver but was reading as copper, it has v+k stamped in the back , what would that stand for? also found 20 pennies, 10 dimes, 2 nickels and 2 quarters again just out of silver 65'er, happy hunting all, keep it swinging, Dusty

That's a flattened souvenir penny. From one of those machines, you put in 2 quarters and a penny, pick a design, and either it squishes it, or you crack a handle to do it. Pretty cool, I haven't found one metal detecting yet.
 
It's from Leavenworth, Washington... They have some really great shindigs up there.. :)
 
that's a sweet little angel :)
I'm addicted to altoids !
 
That's a "pocket angel". It's made of pewter.

Nice angel!!!!
 
Hello, thanks for the info guys, i did think it was pewter, i been having to much fun with these parks, i need to go out and hunt a older site, only hunted one old site and that produced a 1904 indian head, i am getting the urge to hunt for some oldies, i think i have had enought practice, keep it swinging all,
 
Nice finds with a nice pressed penny.
 
:D TG, sure looks like your ready to hit some older spots and dig the older coins, ect. Nice stuff you have there, wouldn't mind having any of it in my own collection! HH

i found an altoid box like that once

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Hey treasureguy, I found an Angel just like yours in a playground. Looks like silver, heavy for it's size and has the word "HOPE" stamped on the back. Looks kinda like a good luck type of thing to me.

Keep diggin'...
 
Hello, yeah i looked inside that altoids can with one eye, didn't know what may be inside, i was hoping for a cache as it was buried pretty deep, it read as junk on the machine, another good reason to dig all singles, what if there was a bunch of cash rolled up inside of there, , that pressed nickel or whatever it is i found, i was digging that up and sure looked like a coin from the side, it was about 4 inches down i thought wow a hammered silver coin from Europe, lol, and then saw the angel cleary after wiping off the wet dirt, does look like a good luck charm, not off a piece of jewlery , as a few say a pocket angel that makes sense, take care all and happy hunting will post some finds here shortly, going out detecting again, later, Dusty
 
Congrat's on the variety TG,Angel is cool....Good luck on your next dig!!
 
I got one of those angels too! Must be good luck for MDers.
 
That pocket angel is really cool. Perhaps it is meant to be your detecting luck charm? Nice finds, nothing better than getting to get out and have a good hunt.

Very nice finds, Dusty! Love that little angel!

Nana :)
 
Cool angel and token. It looks like you had a pretty good morning.
