Was on my way back from my detector club meeting and saw a parkway where the grass was stripped off couldn't helpmyself!!! LOL
Got my first flying eagle cent 1858, 2 silver washington quarters 1946 and 1951d, 3- mercs 1945, 1942, 1917s, about 45 wheats lots of dates in the teens and 20s'. and a 1913 type II buffalo.

Artifacts- a sterling barrel shaped match safe? St Louis railway token, and a 1919 Chicago vehicle tax tag 35 hp or less.


Thanks for looking.

Great finds and thanks for sharing. Just proves that you will never know what you will find under your feet. Great pics.
 

Whoa! That's so cool! The Fleagles are so freaking rare, I'd be dancing the whole way home if I were you! Wow! Nice sterling, to boot.
 

Nice, Ron!
Were you the first to hit it that spot after it was stripped?
Congrats!
 

Great finds. Parkways and easements are great places to detect.
