I want to dedicate this post to my parents Richard and Lois who both passed away toward the end of June within a few days of each other.
They were always very eager to see what I found and Dad would often go with me on my excursions when I went to see them on the farm on the western side of the state.
Finds are from my latest weekend hunts with my XP Deus 2 machines that are set up with different coils.
Most everything was found at public parks, schools and fairgrounds except for the chewed up Morgan dollar, an Indian head and V nickel.
Those 3 coins along with the Axe head and bottle were pulled at a street tear out I came across. The 1893 barber dime was pulled just a few minutes from home at a local school.
I nailed the half dollar in a MN city park on Saturday and was happy to see that one. A deeper mercury dime was about 30 feet away.
The small buster brown pin was the result of chasing a deep low tone. Buster brown cartoon originated in 1902. It definitely has some age to it.
Another unexpected find was that C & NW railroad button which read like a wheat penny. From the back mark it should be pushing early 1900s.
I got a similar one a few years ago but that one was smashed.
Thanks for looking!
Dave
