Hey everyone,
I was just in Phoenix for a few days combining a couple passions of mine, Spring training Dodgers baseball, collecting autographs and metal detecting. I pretty much went to spring training in the mornings, then grabbed lunch and spent the afternoons metal detecting for a few hours.
My finds included 6 silver coins including a pair of 1911 Barber dimes, a piece of sterling silver spoon, 10 wheats, a Western Travelers Accident Association watch fob, and my favorite item a badge from 1911 commemorating the completion of the Roosevelt Dam. The badge was put out by Bear Drugs in Phoenix. At the time the dam was the largest masonry dam in the world and it created the largest manmade lake in the world. It was fun finding a pair of Barber dimes and the badge that all pre date Arizona's statehood in 1912. The desert sure is rough on finds but they cleaned up pretty good.
Hope you're all having a good week.
