Couple shots from my past few times out. Got a decent haul of wheats and 2 IH's, 1893 & 1881.

Got a pretty large aluminum token, sounded choppy in the ground. When I got it out of the dirt it rang in like a half dollar. It's got some decent corrosion on it, but I can make out The Northwestern Consolidated Milling Co. - from Minneapolis, MN. Crazy to dig it up in Mass, I did a quick internet search and seems to be from anywhere between teen's - 30's. Couple pics attached of what it looked like in new condition

Another cool find was the scissor grips, marked Sterling. Sounded like a junk aluminum can in the ground. Was a few inches deep and I lost the signal when I raised my coil off the ground, so I went after it. Also got a 1951 Rosie on that hunt as well.

Thanks for looking, hope everyone is getting out.

You know you've got money to burn when you own a pair of Sterling silver scissors! Definitely a rare find. Congrats!
 
You have some great recoveries Liam. The Sterling Scissors is very unique as is the Token. Congrats on the Rosie, Wheat's and the Indian's. Trapper
