Hello Everyone,
Let me first enter this writing by saying that this particular hunt was one of those moments of bliss...mind numbing bliss. Not that my finds were in the most perfect shape, but, I know what they are, how old they are and that is fine for me.
That aside, the hunt was another short one, maybe an hour or two. I took my time and fought the bugs. The weather was still and warm and the traveling pops orchestra truck was set up and ready to play for several hundred spectators down the hill from me. So here I am, up an old hill scattered with trees and hearing clear as a bell some grand marches and Americana tunes from a bygone era and at the same time pulling period coins from the ground. It was as though the past was poking it's head through a veil of time, to say "Hello!" Thus it did. I literally had to stop more than once and just sit there...and listen and soak it all in. The sounds and voicings of the past were actually back for a short moment, bouncing abroad the hills and trees...again. The park at one time had a grand band stand and no doubt the same tunes played then as now, to an audience most likely descended from those who wandered this very place to see and hear and perhaps reel about on a fine weathered lazy Sunday evening. It was simply dreamy.
The 'heartbreakers' are the gold plated rings(outer plating mostly gone). I didn't realize they were plated until I tried to clean them later at home. But, what can I say...I have no complaints otherwise. The Indian Heads always welcome to the collection...1892 and 1906, along with a 1940 wheat. Lastly, the 1901 Canadian 1 Cent had me really going for a moment. I thought I had found a really old US cent, but no. Nonetheless, it was a great find for me!
Thanks for looking. GL & HH!
