Skipped work and detected the beach. Dug this 1937 Buffalo Nickel right along the low tide line, but not quite in the water. Other than that, it was nothing but mostly corroded clad. Unsatisfied, I hit the town woods on the way home where there once was an old farm. Found this interesting token for the Mechanics store in Providence, RI. My 80 something year old in-laws are from RI, but don't remember that store. Anyone familiar with this store or the token? I'm guessing 1940s or 1950s. Also found this neat whistle marked THE Metropolitan, Made in England. I have no idea how old it is, but it still sounds great. It is very similar to the whistles made famous by the British Bobbies, but I think this is a general service whistle since it has no police markings. Also dug my first dated buckle sheild, patent 1879. Rounding out the keepers was a brooch-like item with an image of a knight holding a sword and shield. I can't see any trace of where the pin was, so I'm not exactly sure what it is. It is slightly bent, which is a bummer, as I think it is a cool item. Thanks for checking out my post. Happy hunting.
