Wow, What a Difference!

Nana40 · May 20, 2009

I finally managed to get away and hunt last Friday and yesterday after recovering from a minor disaster that occurred a couple of weeks ago. $:-\$ Lisa and I revisited a site where I had not had the opportunity as of yet to try out this 6 X 10 DD coil. All I can say is I really wish that I had this coil long before now. :icon_pirat:

It's hard to believe the difference it makes in hunting a site that is iron laden with every step.
The weather both days was nothing short of perfect...a nice breeze and temps in the low 70's. And if not for the final touch up of work from the crew this morning, I'd be out there again today. The grass was/is a bit tall in the pasture, but I didn't care. I just wanted to go diggin'! :icon_sunny:

My favorite find from Friday was a trade token! I love to find these! I've found one other from this particular store last year and it was good for a dime. In the Alabama Trade Token book by Roy Wood it shows one for five cents, but nothing else listed.
This one was a good one! Good for fifty cents!

Also found a neat button with a duck on it.....no back tho...

And of course the ever present tax token...

Yesterday we went back knowing that something else had to be there just waiting to be dug up....and it was. Another trade token! Woohoo! It's from the same store, but the five cent variety. Yee-haw! Now I've found the 5, 10 and 50 cent trade token from the same store! Wonder if they made a twenty five and dollar one? :icon_scratch:

Found this neat looking button too. The back was there, but nothing but a rusted blob when I pulled it out. Anyone know anything about the buttons?

Finally found one lowly silver coin. Was a 1936 Merc and right after, found a 1936 wheat.

I had a great time just being out there.

Sweet tokens looks like a great spot to hunt. Yes they do make big ones like $1.00 in trade which Ive seen one. Great job :thumbsup:

Nice stuff been missing you posting on here....

Hey! Thanks, ya'll!

Anne...yeah, I was getting pretty fidgety.

I even went out and planted a few flowers, but it just ain't the same.

Thanks, Rick.

We'll probably get back there before too long. This place normally has cattle on it, but they weren't there. I guess the owner has rotated them to another pasture for spring. (This is the place that had the bulls that chased us thru the pasture till we tossed the five gallon relic holding bucket.) :-X

Plah....

Thanks! I wonder how one would go about getting these listed in the books? :icon_scratch:

Or if anyone really cares?

Thanks, Nugget! Miss seeing you two.

MM..Thanks! The issue is all but over, thank goodness. :wink:

Thanks, RM. We had found this pasture last year, but due to the little scare with the bulls, we hadn't been back.

They're gone now, so maybe we'll hit it again soon.

Thanks D, Ex, Ray, Brad and Ed!

Neil..

Yeah, I would have been thrilled if that merc had been a Capped...a Barber even. But that's OK...I was happy to find anything silver here. You're right tho...I've/We've learned a lot over the past three years and I'm still learning. Thanks!

Thanks, CJ.

A couple of years ago, I found two $1 tokens, both from the same store, at two different farms. Never did find anything about them. $:-\$

Thanks, Dr.G I sure you'll have that token here before too long. :thumbsup:

And the cactus plants...I love to see them flower. I was at this same site this time last year and got a few pictures. The ones on the top of the mountain are blooming as well. They're orange and yellow...very pretty.

Thanks~

Thanks, Daddy!

Nicky...you think my new gloves are something, you ought'a see my new huntin' pants! :thumbsup:

No holey knees!

Thanks, Tim!

Thanks, Maine! :icon_sunny:

Done been taken, tho...but..if he decides to get rid of me and my dirty diggin' ways, I'll sure let ya know!

Thanks, Ron!

Thanks, RR!

I love that new avatar!

Thanks, Willy and Rob!

I was hoping someone might be able to ID that button...

Thanks, Joe!

Me too.

Thanks, Rog...quack, quack

Thank you Allen and IA~!

Great digs Nana!

I can't find the button in my book....maybe it was made for a July 4th parade uniform?? :icon_scratch:

Glad you like that new coil so much! What a great group of finds, love 'em all! I found a duck button for you. They call it a work button, must be off a uniform of some sort? Keep diggin' Girl!

Dman · May 23, 2009

Nice finds. The Obryan Bros. button is probably an overall button . They had a factory in Nashville TN. It closed about 1988.

Dimeman · May 23, 2009

That 6X10 is a very good coil. It is the perfect size for almost every type of hunting...
