Last few hunts gets some keepers for the book.....

[DPBOB]

Here's some finds from the last few hunts.
The 1916 Merc " with no "D" " was dug from a lot that the city owns where they
want to build a new fire station at for the last 3 years. Good thing they haven't or this baby would be lost for life.
This is the 3rd 1916 dime I have dug and they were all Heart Stoppers. Also  I dug a 1916 "S" and that stopped my heart twice when I saw a mint mark on it , it turned out to be an "S".

I found the 1884 IH , 1920 Buffalo, 1931D Penny , the little lead sheep or baby cow and a shot gun shell all within 2 feet of each other.


Could this little lead animal be a Cracker Jack toy from the 30's or 40's?

Lead in the cracker jacks , Sounds Tasty



Sorry about the pictures.
I should hire WaterColor to do them for me....

Bob, that Indian really came out sweet!
It's a good thing you re-checked the ground where your shovel was

I love the Cracker Jack prize!

Take care,
Mark

Nice finds, Bob!!

Too bad that bottle wasn't whole. I need to get over this bug so I can get out with you guys again. Over a week without hunting & the season is winding down - serious withdrawal!
