Guys still haven't gotten moved and the internet here is bad.. I have to find a hotspot just to post so thats why it has been a while... I have had several hunts and found some cool finds..
Here is a pocket watch that evidently someone turned into a picture charm.. I didn't realize there was a photo in it until I started cleaning it...
just a small amount of the coins that I have been finding here lately...
So far this is one of my favorites of these last few months.. love the tokens..
The Red Cross Pharmacy was started as a single store owned by M.A. Brown in Miami, Missouri in 1854. A town fire force the move to Marshall Missouri in 1879.
The unrelated American Red Cross was established in 1881 and was granted a congressional charter in 1905. Businesses that had already been using the Red Cross name and insignia was allowed to continue to use the cross and name. By the script and type of token I would think it was minted around the turn of the century, but have no evidence to back that assumption.
This photo was from a hunt in a small town that was booming in the early 1900's. One local store had been robbed and the safe was blown.. The tumblers in the lower right were found about 20 feet from where the store stood. Luckily the owner lost only a few dollars in the safe, because he had kept the money in a sack below the safe...
This is just a small sample compact found in the yard where I found the artillery shell, metal photos, and confederate reunion badge from earlier this year..
This also came from that yard and is a small button or piece of jewelry of some type...
This is from the yard where I had the grand slam last month.. the Comb says "Kentucky Made No.1"
I have been kinda lucky here lately but the yards in Atoka are just drying up..

As you suggest, lots of places have been hit pretty hard over the years. But knowing the CTX is still able to pull stuff out of those sites is encouraging to everyone. Thanks for posting. HH Randy
Yeah the internet here is not good.. I did find wifi hotspot near me but will only get to it ever so often.. I am posting another video today on my youtube channel... Have been hunting but I have had to start going to other small communities to be able to hunt cause there isn't much left here... but it seems every time I go the CTX is still able to find something.. just not enough to make a video every time..
