This year I have been doing good on tokens and old nickels but lately, the last 6 or 7 hunts except for one toasted Merc It seems I have been chasing alot of trash. Today I went back to the old park where I have pulled a ton of old nickels, Ihps and a few old silvers. The last time I stopped there I did not dig one good target. After two hours of crappy signals and alot of junk I finally get a 33-34 that sounds promising, Flip a 4 in. plug, I can see discolor on the bottom of plug, I scan it and get a solid 30-31, Turned out to be a wheatie on edge, OK at least I got an old coin from what I've dubbed the field of screams. After a memorial and a clad nickel my next target was a Buff. After a short break I dug a couple V nickels. Did not know the date on the 1883 until I got home. Crossed the road and swinging back to the truck I got a good signal, 26-27 and out comes a good luck token,ALRIGHT, been a while since I've dug a token. Not two minutes later I get a 23 and thought wheatie but when I saw the size I knew I had another token, when I rubbed it and saw the eagle and the word freedom I thought how fitting on such a solemn anniversary. God bless those we lost. I did have a moment, well you know . So a couple minutes later I get another 23 and out pops a rabies dog tag. The last 3 finds had to be all within the last20 min. The heat was getting to me so I called it a day, no shiny but the token made my day. At first I thought maybe a civil war token but it seems to be way more modern. The last few pics are from previous hunts. Thanks for looking in. Mark
