Finds are from the last 2 weeks or so since my last post. All finds were made at city parks and old schools.
My favorite find is the fully intact cast lead toy gun I found yesterday at a school. I haven't been able to find much info on it yet but it must have some age.
The 1940s Storz Beer spinner token was also a neat find for me.
Yesterday was a 4 silver day ending with a 1934 Merc and a 1936 Buffalo in the same hole.
Last weekend I also got a pocket spill with 4 wheat pennies, a silver war nickel and a mercury dime in the same hole.
It was a very good weekend for tokens as well. I also pulled the small sterling silver ring. It sounded like an Indian head penny @ 6 inches deep.
