Looked at a couple of my usual spots this evening but just couldn't get excited about the possibilities. So kept going, and came upon a fresh tear-out.
Started out quickly, had scored three Barber Dimes in the first half hour. But the late start pushed me into the dark, and I didn't want to leave as I was doing so well.
The three Barbers came early. The Seated Dime came well after dark. My detector has no backlight and I have no headlamp, so I was detecting strictly by tone.
This trickle was one of the last finds of the evening. I am not even sure I would have dug it in daylight, because I had dug so much trash. But because I couldn't read VDI numbers at the time I found it, I reacted to the fact that it provided a solid mid-tone.
Shame this token is made of aluminum. Can't quite identify the issuer.
Did find a few coppers. Was impressed with the silver to copper ratio tonight.
This fob was also found in the dark. High tone so a must dig. Dropped it in the finds pouch because of the "regular" shape of it. It is from the United States Horseshoe Company. Issued around 1920. Non-dug examples are being listed between $50-$120 on Ebay.
A few oddballs to boot. A lead bag seal with some writing on it, but can't quite identify. A button, back-mark unreadable. A beautiful marble. And an ornate foil piece.
