Harvest time!

[Geologyhound]

I recently went on a two day hunt at a local site. The wheat must’ve been ripe, because I came back with 30 wheat cents! There is a 1909, several in the 1920s and 30s and a bunch in the 40s and 50s. I found two buffalo nickels (‘36 and ‘37) on the same day, which is a first for me. The bucking bronco badge was cool along with the Clark Gable popsicle token from the 1930s. I found one merc and the silver Rosie the first day. The other two mercs, the war nickel and the religious charm (silver?) I found the second day. Anybody know what the charm might represent? There is printing on it, but it’s so small, I can’t make it out.

I only found one zincoln for the whole trip. I kept hoping one of the quarters would be silver, but they were all clad.

I'm not going to tell anyone, but I seen you on the ridge you found those on.

Quite a few of our club members wandered through the second day. I was just a little more persistent….

I neglected to mention I also picked up a bottle cap still attached to an intact old, large Heinz 57 bottle. It was about 2/3 full of liquid which I thought was water. I didn’t want to carry that weight around in my pouch all day, so I unscrewed the cap and dumped out the liquid. Then I caught a whiff of it. It was either old gasoline or old alcohol. The reek of it about made me sick until the smell dissipated over time. When I got home, I rinsed it out multiple times. But, if I take the lid off, it still reeks.

That sounds like old gasoline to me, I get nauseated by the smell of it.
