Didn't get anything that old but not too bad. So hot today!
The 1902 cent is in great shape and I don't think I have a good one in the box. The 1917 little nickle and the rotted 1913 were in a hole with 2 1922 cents. Nice to find spills but sometimes its hard on the coins. The button in the middle is a late 1800's Canada Militia button. My 1st for that period. Not sure if the anchor button is official.

Almost had to use my shovel for something other than digging today. When I got to the park I put my backpack near the back under a big maple. Had been hunting for a few hours and saw this guy walking by on the sidewalk wearing shorts but no shirt or shoes. Didn't think to much about it until a few minutes later. I made a turn in my grid and there's this clown sitting not 3' from my pack! He'd gone from the sidewalk to my pack (about 200 yards) without my seeing him and was sitting there eyeing me and pretending to search through some papers from his pocket. I watched him for a minute and decided he wasn't going away so put the shovel on my shoulder and walked over. All he said was "Hot ain't it" and then he and his really shiny eyes got up and walked away. I do not like crack heads!!
Thanks for looking & GH, Chris
