3 wheats and tax token from neat spot

[hatpin]

I did not have much time to hunt today but knew of this little area overlooking the Mississippi river . I use to go there as a kid as did the kids 100 years ago . Its a little overhang , a natural shelter . Using a Vaquero with stock coil I found two wheats under there 1940 and 1912 . Also found a Missouri tax token from WWII.




I then started inserting the pinpointer in the holes and crevices of the limestone bluff. I got a signal in one of the holes and dug out the mud by hand . Checked the signal and it was in my hand a, a 1954 s penny . First time I ever found a coin just using a pinpointer .



I spent about thirty minutes there .Heres all four coins together . Also found a couple of brass snaps .

Cool spot hatpin. Do you ever find Indian artifacts in that area?
Also, why is the rock face discolored?

I have never found any Indian artifacts here even though there are Indian mounds directly overhead . The cliff face is discolored because someone had to spray paint it .

Yea, nice going, It's fun to get out at those away places to go detecting. That would be neat to find a coin with the pointer on its own. I might have to try that at the overlook crevis edges to see if something worked its way back in the rocks. Have fun, enjoy, its getting cold here.
