old yard gives up some silver and RR tag

[diggerfororo]

I got a chance to hunt a nice big yard in a small town close to home. A friend had bought a house and ask if I would like to hunt the yark. (DUH) I jumped at the chance and was there at 2 oclock. My very first target was a RR baggage "way" tag from the Hannible St. joe RR. This RR was only in extistance from 1859 to 1869, as it was bought out by the Burlington RR. This is a very rare item. I also dug 5 merks and
2 Indians with some wheats. The RR tag made my day . I felt that I had a very luck day as this yard had lots of problems. There was an abundance of iron and some electrical problems as well. "The worst day detecting is better than the best day working" Thats the way I heard it.

Thank for looking.

Very nice finds, the railroad tag is awesome. The silver and Indians etc. are hard to beat.

The coins are nice, but that is the best quality tag I have ever seen.

Thanks digger: From one digger to another that is the best tag I have ever dug. I can't think of any other dug tag I have seen that was in better shape. I haven't really cleaned other than just ran some water on it.

Thanks Auger: I have dug several and this is the cream of the crop. I love it.
