Been busy but squeezed some digging in…..

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

A week ago several of the club members met up to hit an old place. I got 3 wheats and a 1964 silver Rosie in about 30 minutes. Then friday I hit an old yard for a short hunt to beat the heat and got a wheat, a 4 leaf clover token, an old printing plate, and a nice sterling ring. Took a trip 3 hours north to do some stuff and while there my friend took me to a little old fairgrounds where he said he had dug some arcade tokens. Well in about an hour I dug 29 of them. That's the most I have ever dug in one hunt. I knew they were not valuable but I sure like digging them! I also got one wheat and $1.25 in clad there.

Good haul - esp all the tokens. What does the printing block say ? Put it up to a mirror & read it. Steve in so la

It says "The Village of Colon" That is the next town over from where I found it. Colon is the Magic capitol of the world.

Maybe some value to someone there - "village" is rare except in touristy stuff. Steve

Nice finds Mike. I will get out again one of these days.

Nice finds Mike. Over the years, I've dug a lot of tokens also.

Cool finds Mike.

Looks like I be hunting in your backyard this fall.
I work outages at the nuke plant and have for years.
Been to your area several times and like hunting Silver Beach.
Weko Beach in Bridgeman is interesting and has a lot of fossils and what they call "Indian Beads".

This last Spring outage bought a new CTX-3030 from Al at ProStock.
