These pictures are from two separate hunts, First three pics are from today's hunt after work, i picked both the silver rings four feet from each other, the merc was a tough one it was bouncing all over the place , when in doubt dig it out ," right " glad i did!!
1923s , A Dave and Busters token from 2001, and a bunch of clad!!!! awesome hunt
The last two pics are from yesterday, Managed to pic a 1941 Washington, 1936 merc no mint mark, and a promotional badge ,
for Wards soft bun bread, it reads (official reporter scoop ward news of youth wards soft bun bread) it appears to be copper?
I don't know much about the badge? any info would be appreciated, I don't know whats going on but the explorer is on fire lately,
but im not complaining though, thanks for looking.

I'd say it's on a roll as well:thumbup:

Nice finds:beers:



Here's the link to my field test post containing over 60 different hunts of various coil tests...comparisons...nicer finds...etc..:

Been swingin' the coil since 1972

Here's the story of my BEST FIND EVER.:
http://www.findmall.com/read.php?19,876944,876944#msg-876944

"Metal detecting is an escape for me and allows me to find some much needed peace and solace.
Being able to clear my head...even if only for that short while...is much more meaningful than any amount of finds that end up in my pouch"

Awesome finds!!!!!!!! I love any Silver esp. those nice rings! :clapping:
Scoop Ward news badge is neat as well!
Sometimes the odd finds like these are the coolest. Imagine some happy kid running around with that pinned to his shirt. :thumbup:

It is from the 30s and is a wards bread promo item, It originally had blue painted lettering inside the letters. There are a bunch on ebay and various auction sites. I have seen them sell for between 1.25 and 65 dollars. Idigid
