YES! Finally something to get excited about

Woohoo, my bro and I got out for a few hours today and boy was it worth it. We started of finding a lot of clad and bullet shells in some fields which wasn't bad, but we were looking for something more. While in the field though I did manage a sterling silver spoon so that was cool, and my brother found this neat token that says Seattle Washington Ski Hackman around the edge, and good luck in the middle. We moved into some yards and the finds started to show up. The 6 wheats dates are: 1952-s, 1926, 1948-s, 1936-s, 1923-s, and a 1913(our oldest wheatie yet). We also found 2 other keeper coins that are a 1932 Washington(sooo close to an SLQ) and a 1936 s Buffalo, and a silver cross. Hopefully everyone got out and enjoyed the sunshine today (at least in Washington). Happy Hunting

Too funny, I found one of those good luck tokens myself this past weekend. Stamped "Dot Humphrey" and "Clio Mcinnis". I thought it looked like the letters were individually stamped. The carnival explanation makes sense.

Nice post you guys and great finds! Keep them coming! I think it is the same type of token down in Tacoma.

Any hallmarks on the spoon? Looks like it could be from the mid 1800's.
