Finds are from a few weekend hunts since my last post. Most all of the finds were pulled at public sites in North Dakota and one Saturday hunt coming from Minnesota.
The horseshoes came from an old field site close to my parent's farm.
My XP Deus 2 was used just about all the time and my Manticore was used shortly on one site.
The 1942 half came from an old ND fairgrounds. The '83 Indian, 1901 V and a few others came there also.
The silver boy scouts ring came out of MN and was about 10 inches. It read just like a silver quarter and was happy to get that instead.
The cash register stick pin is circa 1900. This came from a local old school only about 6 miles from home.
I also pulled a 1918 merc and a few others from that Sunday evening hunt.
Thanks for looking!
