Hunt going well until I got rained out..

[black651]

I got up extra early because I really, REALLY wanted to get in some detecting time before I had to work this weekend. I stopped in at one park I wanted to try but found just some newer coins and a Hotwheels toy car thing. Switched to another park that had some history and picked out a nice spot - found a 1945 wheat cent right away. The signals kept coming and I unearthed an old harmonica - there are some letters on the outside of one panel but it's in really sad shape. The inside is all wood and very thin metal on the outer panels. Next I dug up an interesting baseball mitt pin - it has a couple folded tabs on the back of it and reminds me of a cub scout neckerchief slide with the say they are folded inward. Maybe it's a keychain fob? I'll do some checking on the harmonica and baseball mitt and see what I can find out..

Usually the harmonica pieces found are just the reed. Rare to see one with more intact. good hunt.
