[treasureguy]

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 "pocket angel". It's made of pewter.

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,

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'...

 

[treasureguy]

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

[cntrydncr1]

I got one of those angels too! Must be good luck for MDers.

 

[Postalrevnant]

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.
