Field hunt..1910 Fireman's Assoc. badge...silver...indians

Still waiting on more of my fields to be cut, seems like they are cutting all the ones I have already hunted several times. So had no choice but to hunt those fields again. Thursday nite, BadJim, came to hunt one with me, and he had 3 crusty indians and all I had was the one flat button. Then finally I got a silver dime, in the field all I could see was the back said "one dime" I was praying it was a seated because the newest coin ever out of this site so far was a 1884 indian

Got home washed it off, and go figure, it was a 1906 barber dime! Oh well I will take a barber anyday, just expected it to be a seated!

Friday Jim came over again and we hit another field I hunted 4-5 times last year, it gave up a dozen indians, shield nickel, sterling knife and much more this spring before planting, was hoping there was more left. My very first signal in the field was 12-44 and I dug halfway to china it felt like to get this lil badge, sure glad I didn't give up!!! This has to be the coolest thing this field has gave up so far!

Jim nailed 2 indians and and couple buttons, then shortly before leaving, I got 2 really crusty indians, 1893, 1895.

Nice finds Terry.

Firewxman and I hunted a field for about 2
 
Neb, the field the barber came from is on the 1886 map but it is gone by the 1940 map, so I really have no idea how old the site is or when the house was tore down, I cant find any maps for that area in between those yrs.

I had one field two yrs ago that the oldest coin I got there was a capped bust dime, and the newest coin was a 1946 rosie......after digging a capped bust there and then seeing silver in the hole again, it was a HUGE let down for it to be a rosie dime. I love all silver, but everytime I dig a rosie, it is still a disappointment, it has to be the absolute ugliest silver coin EVER!
 
NICE FINDS:thumbup:

Terry, I also found a Fireman Association Badge at a local park

I will try to post it and we can see the comparison

YES!

always thought it was smooth but used loop and now I can see it without my reading glasses since I know it is there
 
Nice finds! That is a neat Firemans badge.
