Checking out different parks today. Found a Navy button made by Waterbury button co. This is my best looking button ever. Could use some help with the ID and possible date. Also found 2 trade lottery tokens again, one for !0c and the other for $1.25 in trade. Thanks for looking
Went to my go to park today and found 3 wheats 1918S, 1927 S and 1944 S. The 1910 was found yesterday. And a toasted 1901 V nickel. I know it's toasted (why I hate nickels) but I love finding the history. Thanks for looking and may all your signals be deep and Sweet
Found a 1942 D and 1920 S Merc 1941 Wheat and a American Welding and Ironworks Good luck token from Spokane. Need any info on this?
Thanks for looking and Happy hunting

Went to my new hot park and scored my first Indian Head of the year 1902, unfortunately the park is highly fertilized and eats the pennies badly. Also found an old rodeo or western Button.

went to the hot park again, this time only used the DFX. Boy does it rock. went through all bottle cap infested areas and dug 0 caps. It was so nice I decided to dig all nickels and plumbs but no gold today. Man the DFX is right on the money with pinpointing and depth. Found over 50 clads...
went to a park named after a President today, it was nice out and so all the kids were running around in the field where I wanted to hunt. I wanted to work on my coin count for th clubs finds and just have a relaxing day. I decided to work on digging nickels today. For the first 2 hours the...
Well it's been a while since I posted due to the fact I've been having a silver slump. Went 6 times in a row and didn't score any silver. But to day I got a nice 1911 S Barber dime, it could have been a totally trashed Rosie and I would be happy. Thanks for looking
Took the DFX out to try it out. Man it's like having a bunch of detectors. Each program I used sounded and acted totally different. Started in the coins mode for a few got the hang of it and then went to the jewelry and coins for a while. Then work out with the Hi trash program and then the...
Yes I finally got a white's DFX, I need to tweak my machine and play around with the programs. So what do you DFX owners think of them? I love my At Pro but need to get a machine you can really specialize. Will never get rid of the pro though. Can't beat it's versatility, and with my Nel...
Ground is softening in some areas. Didn't find a silver dime today, but did score my first silver Washington with the At Pro. Also got a cool vintage lock and 1944 S wheat and a flag pin. Thanks for looking
Went to the park (alias frozen tundra) today because I had to try out the new Grey Ghost head phones. They are definitely different. The tones are different they have better volume and they seem to amplify the good signals. Results for the first hunt of the year a clingy ring, 1951 S and 1962...
Today went out for the last time this year maybe winter. Temperature is dropping single digits, ground is freezing and deflecting my screw driver. well one last shot at the park for the year did produce another double silver. First got an old Army button (any age or identification is well...
Still mining the new park hard. Had another double silver day, which means you have to hunt 2 hours more to try to make it a triple silver day. Found a toasted 1928 S Wheat, 1938 S and 1917 S (10 inches down) Mercury dimes, a gold plated pin and a gold plated cuff link. Hopefully not but this...
Today went to my current park with a new Detecting buddy. Nothing but trash for 2 hours straight, found 6 dimes and 2 memorial penny's. My partner gave up and left, I (being stupid) stuck it out for another 1/2 hour till dark. I kept plugging away and got 2 good signals with in 15 minutes of...
Today decided to stay local and play in my latest park. Got a nice silver plated buckle (any help on age or ID would be appreciated, 9 inches), a 1937 Buffalo nickel (8 inches), 1941 S, 1944 D and 1919 S (7 inches) Wheat.

Found these all in the same park. Two small ones are identical in size 18mm, don't know why they have a number but Idahotokens thinks they were part of a lottery type system. The 5 cent one is probably from Spokane will research. Thanks for looking any help is always greatly appreciated.

Don't surrender to the cold
Went to a park from 1912 today and scored my 21st Barber dime of the year (1912 D). Then I found a gold ring, bet you heard this before but she looked really good coming out of the hole, it's ordinary bling. I think the best thing about my At Pro is it's washable. After getting caked in mud...
This token was found about 6 inches deep at a old park (opened 1912) in Spokane. Hopefully some one recognizes it and can shed some light on it. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Tank you
Spokane is 30 degrees out, ground is frozen(only the first 3 inches) so what kind of an idiot would have to go metal detecting? ME! Found a tiny gold ring 3 inches in the frozen dirt, and a token for a glass of Bier (any help on from where or time frame would be helpful.) Found 17 clad coins...
Winters here and it's killing me
Went out the last 2 days and had to dig through at least an inch of frozen ground. Today was much worse some places were froze solid and couldn't get the screwdriver in. Have to hunt in sunny tall grass areas were the ground isn't so tough. Yesterday scored...

Went to the new park again today and scored a Sterling ring, piece of herring bone chain (rings in the gold not silver range) and a Nova Scotia Cooper half penny no date (made with the Kings face 1823 to 1839). Now for most of you this is not a big deal but up here in Spokane you don't get any...
Went to a different park today. Got 5 wheats, A tootsie Hot rod, Silver dancer earring? A cheap bracelet and another Standing Liberty Quarter with out a date (again) But a silver quarter is always a silver quarter so I'll take it.
Thanks for Looking

Found 2 Wheats, Cheap ring, a part of a cufflink and an Air Force Chief Ground Observer pin form the 50's. I didn't even know about them until I found the pin. They were stationed here in Spokane to act as observers for enemy planes until 1959.
