Today's all day hunt........

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Met up with five new friends and took a buddy with me. About 80 miles from here, left at 6:45 am and got home at 9:40 PM. We hunted 3 celler holes, one vacan't lot where an 1800's house used to be, and three 1800's yards.
Here is the crew!

My best coins finds were 3 wheats, a 1940 Canada cent, and the 1898 Indain, and the 1899 Barber dime came out of the same hole.

Here are the doo-dads. The best one is the 1917 dog tag!

Great Hunt Mike! I really like finding the old coins but I especially enjoy finding things like the #4 1917 WaterLoo Twp bell. Finding things that link us to our past is always of special interest to me.

Well, you did better than me!! I dug for about an hour yesterday and only got a quarter and a couple of old buckles. One looks like it could be brass, the other looks newer, like it was machine stamped. The house I hunted was my next door neighbors 1890's farmhouse. I haven't yet found an old coin over there, only a silver Rosie.

That dog tag is cool. Sounds like you guys had a great time.

Like the dog tag! I found one not too long ago from back in the 40's and happen to know the man who owned the dog that lost it (it had the owners name and address on the back). Thought that was pretty cool.
