Nine days of working the midnight until
8 am shift, got a day off.
Back out into the area I’ve been finding
the older coins. (If you followed the Jack
In The Pulpit post you would know what I’m
talking about.) The area is only about 25
min from where I live, easy to get into.
Said to myself, “lets just keep looking for coins”,
But alas, it was not to be.
Started moving out of the area and did come
across this:
So many times, the chance, but it turns out
broken. So I go slow. I start digging next to
it trying to make it come out in one piece.
Yes, a good one:
Wash it out a bit. (try this photo as wallpaper)
Still needs more cleaning.
Grone & Company/ St Louis/MO
the Henry Grone Brewery, that was located at
2219 Clark avenue, St Louis, producing beer and
soda water from 1861-1934. This one would be
from the later period.

When and if I have more time I plan on returning
and doing more digging in this location. Could be
more “stuff”.
The three times I have hit my coin area, I have
taken out two coins each trip.
1st trip: Silver, 1942 dime, and a 1941 wheat.
2nd trip: wheat 1920”s something and a buffalo
nickel 1935.
3rd trip: 191? wheat and a 1912 V nickel.
Today was the same story. Two coins,
1941 dime and an unknown buffalo.
Also came across what I think is a very old
Ford key. Very small.
Any idea on age would be appreciated.
Felt good being out and digging. Felt good
being part of the woods.
all have a good un..................
