I got out and hunted a good looong day at Goio Park on the south side. I got there on the bright and found my first wheatie before Goio and McEtrak showed up. They quickly surpassed me and found just as many wheaties as me, and then some. I'll let them post what they got. Thanks for the tips Goio! Hunting in that trash is a fine art.

Here's my notable finds... 1956-D, 1944-P, 1930-P, 1927-P, 1919-P, 1914-P (yep, not a D... darn!), 1912-P.

I'm not really sure what this is, but it's heavy and interesting. This is all I could find on the inscription, which reads "Nobis Bene Nemini Male" which roughly translates to "For Us The Good, Nobody Is Evil" or "Us Good, Nobody Bad".

This marble is all I got out of the hole and boy was I happy. This is my first marble and it's got some great colors!

Thanks kimsdad! I really wanna indulge in some silver soon though before the ground is completely frozen.

You think that Nobis Bene "thingy" may be part of a watch fob??

No luck googling on it :icon_scratch:

I actually wouldn't think it's a watch fab, but then again I'm definitely no watch expert. It's the size of the large dollar coins, it's thick, and has that groove around the inside, with a notch on one end. Maybe I could imagine a watch popping in there but I'm unsure how that would work. Yeah googling a phrase in a foreign language only gave me the link I shared... very weird considering that phrase does have some history to it.
 

Interesting find there Brother. I like that marble too. I got out Sunday for a couple hours, and it sure was warmer than Sat.
