Spur of the moment,Santa knocks on my door & says "Lets go ! " caught a friend at home,who owns 2 city lots.and he tells us " go for it guys have fun , and we did !!! Found a shallow privy with a few bottles in it,nothing to brag too much about,,,,,except one !!! :headbang: A rare 1/2oz Central Drug Co ,Cripple Creek . In 30+ years I have seen about 5-6 of these including this one.

We sifted the last foot of the privy and came up with an Indian head penny and some marbles, a doll body and buttons ( some mother of pearl & some metal ) Also found a large brass token (about the size of a half dollar) that on one side I was able to read "Worlds Greatest Gold Camp" and can see to miners picks and a gold pan, the other side I cant make out much but can read "Cripple Creek" we also got a 1951 wheatie and a brass badge/hat emblem/shield ?? That says "Offical Member Junior sales Club of America" and some other trinkets. I will post some more pics when a few items have been cleaned. I hope ya all had as good a day as we did ,no matter what you were doing 8-)
