Don't let that window of opportunity close on you!!!.....

I didn't! I seen a small construction site yesterday where they had removed an old house and were going to put up a building. There was a big top dirt pile where they had been scraping the area. I stopped by today after work and ask the one guy there if he minded if I detect after he was done. He said go ahead now! OK!!! Well the bad thing is he was taking out a little over a foot of dirt, so many of the goodies were on the big pile. That's ok, I will get them later. I worked the area for about an hour in very hot and humid conditions! WHEEEW! Glad I did. I got 2 wheats 44 and 53D, a very nice 1863 Civil War Patriotic token (Our Navy) A 4 hole button with a 1924 pat date. a 4 hole porcelin button, a neat Army Tootsie Toy Jeep, and a brass cap to something. Here are the goods!

but I am sure it is common, other than maybe it having the reverse struck sideways?
