Today's digs!.......

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Got in a little over three hours in between 2 showers. Hunted an 1800's fairgrounds that has given up tons of old coins over the years. I didn't get over any super cool finds, but I did get my wheaties! 1917, 1941, and 1946.

Malaquin (Brian) found a very cool 1913 Michigan chauffeurs Badge! I can't wait to see it cleaned up! WTG Brian!

Here is Jerry very happy as he found his very first Walking liberty half dollar! 1917. First silver with his new Explorer. WTG Jerry!

Here is an interesting memorial cent I found. Notice the rim is coming off, kinda like it was applied separately!

Lastly here is a big Indian Chief that was carved from a big oak tree at the site. This was about 8 feet tall. The black is likely from some nails in the tree many years ago.

At least you got out and found something . I had to cut limbs that got broke in the ice storm and man was I itching to dig. It is about 76 degrees here in kentucky today.

Congrats, Mike, on the oldies and getting out with friends again.....Ya all did good! Really like that Chauffers Badge and the Walking Liberty Half-Dollar! Was in the 80's yesterday, instead of the 70's! Really got warm and warm last night! Some cooler today and looks like it might rain! Keep on, keepin' on with Jesus and God Bless! Betty
