Took some time off at the end of last week from hunting to take care of some business, but came back on Sunday to hunt the cut field below the water tower.
At the left side was the official town sledding hill where I have found 7 IHPs at the bottom where the grass meets the cut field. Towards the front of the pic, a couple of houses had stood, so I concentrated my hunt from the end of the sled hill across the field to the right, next to a crossroad out of the picture frame where several homes once stood.
I liberated a lot of high tone junk, mostly aluminum, but did find some wheats, a miners tag, button, a hard luck - good luck token, and the coin at the lower right. At first I thought it was a crusty zincoln, but then I noticed it was larger than the pennies so Im thinking its either foreign or a token.
I met up with a hunting buddy this morning, and initially hunted another small area where I have found IHPs....and it didnt disappoint when I scored the 1900 IHP in pretty good shape. I also found the odd brass wall stand with the #9 on the swivel. Not sure what it was used for. Then I zig zagged across the old road area through the center of the town site where I found 4 wheats, the 5 cents in trade token for the Great Western Hotel in Sheridan, and the secure lever lock face:
Thanks for looking, and HH!
