Silver, wheats presidential medal and a meteor!

[magic]

Got out today for a bit and managed to find a spot that I dont think has been hit very hard. I got threatened by some young gang members but stood by ground and had my trusty bayonet that I use to dig with in my hand. They actually tried to grab my detector and I pulled out my knife and they took off and said they would be back. I was there two hours after and they never came back. Next time I go I will take a friend.

Anyway found some cool stuff and I will be going back again soon. Its a very trashy place but has some good things. I need some help finding out about the presidential thing. I cant find anything out about it...
The meteor is just the name on the lock.

Good for you.....don't let some punks try to ruin this hobby for you. Don't know about the presidential tokens but I do know that I like them. Nice finds!!

The president thing is one and the same. It is bigger than a silver dollar and has a small loop on top like it could have been a watch fob or on a chain. It is really thick and heavy.
It says the name of the president on one side and then says inauguration day march 4, 1913 and the same on the other side exept the vice presidents name, Thomas Riley Marshall.

Great finds! I carry a concealed weapon which I have a permit. Hope I never have to use it.

That is one of those trick double headed flip coins.......heads I win........... Whatever it is, you did good Magic, a lot of nice finds and a friend in a place like that sounds like a good idea.

Its a pocket watch that is I think silver plated. Its completely trashed but the back looks pretty good, thats why I only took a picture of the back.
Yeah, those punk kids was asking me for money and then wanted cigarrettes, when I told them no thats when one of them reached out like he was going to grab my detector and said "you are going to give us something"... Thats when I had enough! No one is taking my V3!!!! I have a permit to carry and I usually do but in Indiana, you can carry in the state parks but not in the city parks....I guess they think you are safe there.

Great finds, and I guess that "digging" tool saved the day. I have often wondered how I would handle a confrontation like that. I'd carry a concealed weapon if this state allowed them. (don't get me going on that topic!)

Hey Magic,

I've been looking for someone to go hunting with in Indy and haven't had much luck. Run into a few punks too...they haven't been as persistent though.

Let me know if you wanna hunt together.
