Finds are from the last few weekend hunts since my last post. All finds were found fairly close to home at public sites with my Minelab eTrac.
I am impatiently waiting for my hybrid SUV to arrive so I can combat the higher gas prices.
The barber quarter was a nice surprise found on Saturday at a public site that was a turn of the century horse track. I also pulled 3 Indian head pennies there.
The Hubley "Champ" cap gun is probably late 1950s and was found at an old elementary school. It was about 10 inches deep.
The brass octagonal merchant token is from a small town that has a population of about 65.
A couple strange and unexpected finds were 2 bottles. One is dated 1944. The screw cap on the bottles were ringing up on my detector.
I also pulled a complete 1974 license plate. I had noticed the city had torn out some
trees on the edge of a park so I hit that area and pulled these items. I also got a mercury dime there.
Thanks for looking!
