The weather continues to be nice here in northern Ohio. We still have yet to get a frost. Makes for great hunting of schools and parks but not for the woods or tall grass areas.
A quick morning hunt at this site didn’t produce much other than a some clad and wheat pennies.
Back to a local spot after work. Not much – 1918 Wheat penny and a lipstick thingy. The lipstick thing is interesting since it had a little mirror attached to it (a couple of glass pieces still in it).
Another quick hour hunt at the 1890’s schoolhouse foundation yielded about 6 targets. One was this IH penny. 8)
A week or so ago Dan, Nate and I got together for a 2 year anniversary Iceberg hunt.
If you are not familiar with the “Iceberg” then check this out:

It was a little warm, buggy and I didn’t get any silver but it was still satisfying to walk away with 40 wheat pennies and an interesting token.
I tried to google W.A. Fraser token and got a link to a picture of Woodmen of the World delegates from 1915. Also didn’t turn up much on the “Regular Fellers of America” pin.
Also trying to get some new sites. Put in a couple of requests through realtors (not to hopeful there) but did find a new cellar hole.
The growth is really bad in the area and I couldn’t put up with the mosquitoes. It might have some potential. First finds from the site:
I picked up what I thought was the exact same woodmen of the world token on ebay. Nate pointed out that they are different. See for yourself:
Can you find the differences?
That's about it for now. Nate and I did have a decent Columbus Day hunt but that will have to wait for the next post. I should get my water detector back any day now. Just in time for the cold weather. :P Oh well, I think I do better on land anyway.
HH all.
