No silver this week, but some interesting finds nonetheless.

I think I've pretty much cleaned out the places in town where I've been finding silver coins, so I've ventured into a few new areas and have been coming up with some old stuff but no silver from these spots as of yet.

In particular I like the 5 cent trade token (found in the woods near an old boy scout lodge), 1905 Injun, and 1927 Buffalo. The pocket watch is my third for the year. Also got a big Thomas Jefferson presidential coin, about as big as a fifty cent piece. And how about that angel clip? Plus a couple other miscellaneous items.

HH,

Thanks folks! There's no shortage of old places to detect here in the state of Washington, but like most other places everything old is on private land. I don't always like to ask permission to detect someone's propery, but sometimes I do if I'm in need of new spots. Right now, I'd like to find some old spots that are not on private land or are on timber land that permits public access. I have a place in mind that I and a friend are going to investigate tomorrow on timber land. According to a local store clerk, when she was a teenager she and her friends used to ride horses up an old logging road where they spotted an old cemetery near some apple trees. I guess there used to be a homestead there at one time. Hopefully we can find it and dig some good stuff. I'll keep ya'll informed.
