I am definitely on a roll of sorts! Heard it was supposed to rain today, so rearranged my plans a bit and got out at the park for about 45 minutes. First good signal on the E-Trac was a shallow 11-48 in rocks and roots. Worked at it and out popped a big green copper. Picked it up, looked and and thought, that's not a large cent...and quickly recognized it as a Bank of Canada halfpenny token dated 1854.
That kept me going and then out came a wheat cent, some trash and then an 07-34 that I thought could be an Indian head cent. When I opened the hole, I saw something white that I thought was a piece of styrofoam cup. Instead it was a pretty cool sorority pendant made from shell and possibly gold and enamel. On the back the name Wesley is engraved.
Checked the time and I had time to make a few more passes and was rewarded with a 1935 buffalo nickel and not 5" away from it, a 1943 Mercury dime.
