Barber & Franklin Halves / Old Political Token

[floodplaindetector]

I had some good time to get out and hunt the past couple weekends. All finds shown were pulled from researched public sites.
Most were pulled with my Deus 2 and a few with my Minelab Manticore.

Most of the silver including the halves and quarters were pulled out of South Dakota. Others were pulled out of Minnesota and North Dakota.
The Barber half dollar was pulled a couple weekends ago. It was a tight signal about 11 inches deep. The junk around it was skewing it down to wheat penny/silver dime numbers.
The Franklin half was pulled at a different park and was only about 6 inches deep. It gave me half numbers from every direction. The silver quarter was pulled close by.

Also pulled that day was that big brass 1928 political token. The person on the token is the guy Herbert Hoover beat in the 1928 presidential election.
Was hoping it was a U.S. large cent but I will take that token any day.

Last weekend I pulled that Button/Button Ring? at an old school site. That was way deep. If anyone has ideas on it please let me know.
Thanks for looking!
Dave

Great finds Dave! Isn't it exciting when a big silver sees the light of day for the first time in years? I haven't been out as much as I woul like to so I live the hobby thru you guys! I only have a couple of mercs an one thin Barber dime for the year...

You sir are the consummate coinshooter. Your knack for silver is uncanny. Congrats on all the shiny and other cool finds. I love the presidential token. What is the thing to the right of the watch. I've dug a couple of them. You mentioned you have a Manticore. Your thoughts ? I use one and although not at your level of success I have done pretty well with it. I dug a crisp 41 Walker on my last outing from a well pounded area of a heavily hunted old park. Continued success and look forward to your next post

Great finds again Dave.. Sounds like the Deus 2 is doing well for you and being you are also using the Manticore you can see which one does the best for you and your type of hunting. I got our friend Tim asking me about the Manticore and think he may want to get one and wonder if it will go deeper than his E-trac .. He tried a Equinox 800 and like his E-Trac better and wondering if the Manticore would do better.

Again Great finds Dave and sure keep finding the great finds like you have been

Nice showing Dave! I was thinking seal matrix on the ring at first, but they are usually engraved, very interesting indeed.

Very nice finds there Dave.
It’s always interesting to see your finds!!
