Hey everyone!

I hope you’ve had a good weekend. I got out for several hours today and am glad I did.

I started out early in the day by finding a horseshoe. I can’t remember the last time I found one of these. Probably more than a decade ago.

It was in a tiny front yard. I’m not sure if it is from a game of horseshoes or if this was actually worn by a horse. I’m leaning toward the former but I’m not sure. Here are some additional photos.

Anyways, my first site didn’t pan out much so I moved on to a backup. Good grief I’m glad I did!!

Here are some of the best finds:

One of my cooler tokens for sure.

Here are some other odds and ends I uncovered too.

All things considered, a pretty awesome and amazing day. It blew my expectations out of the water!

Heading to Chicago to work tomorrow so no detecting from me for a little bit. Good luck out there this week!

LOL I always find the horseshoes and ox shoes on my hunts... and you find the silver coins!
 

Nice haul! I haven`t found a horseshoe myself yet, maybe next year.
 

Nice job brother!!! I’m sure you’re trying to track down Brian to give him his silver back...................right?!?! (;
