Two Trips to Picnic Grove, Indians, Wheaties, Silver, Gold & Toys

I made a couple of trips out to the old picnic grove.
The first trip was early last week, before I left to go watch my daughter graduate Navy Boot Camp,
Was out for about 3 hours and managed one wheatie (1918), one Indian (1899), a big bullet (anyone?), and a couple of old cast toys. One of the toys is a rider on horseback, the other seems to be a cop on a motorcycle, without his head.

On Sunday I brought a friend with his Ace 150 out to the Grove. Only the second person to hunt there, after I took our state representative a few weeks ago. While I was finding wheaties (1923, 1919, 1917, and 191?) and Indians (1900, 1898, and 1891) and a 1917 Merc, he was complaining that all he was finding was old nails. I was sympathetic, until he called me over to see what the quattro read on a signal. Hmmm, it looked like gold or junk to me, so he dug up a little gold baby ring!
Very cool. I got a picture before he went on home, but no marking on the inside of any kind, and I didn't get to weigh it.

He did quit complaining about digging nails!

These coins were mostly in a low area that seems to stay more wet than where I have been pulling coins. Many were in pretty tough shape, but I'm just happy to keep on finding sweet oldies after I've been told I'm hunting the wrong area.

Good Luck everyone!

Very Nice stuff. Nate and I have been pulling some IH's lately and it's been fun.

The cracker jack toys are very sweet too. :icon_sunny:
