Finds from my visit with Mike in Chicago...............

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

He is on his way now to his sisters in Ohio, but we had a great time of fellowship and swingin! Shawano joined us all day yesterday in Indiana. The finds were not plentiful, but we sure had great weather and lots of fun!

Here are my better finds from the two days that we hunted together.
Friday I got an old log cabin button with almost all of the gold wash still there. I have seen some of these, and some are worth a few bucks! I will have it looked up soon! I also got a 191? wheat that is soaking, and a neat 1953 SW MI Band and orchastra festival pin.
Saturday my keepers were two wheats 54D, and 45S, a 1944 merc, a very small old button, and a neat gold plated gizmo that has the head of a lion on it. I was thinking it might be that back of an old pocket watch, but it is lead filled?
