Silver #10, 11 for the year. V nickel and 1890s token!

[washingtonian jr]

Another crazy day out hunting today with echoplex and my brother! I got to the spot 30 minutes after those 2 and ended up with the first two silvers of the day, a 1935-s merc and a 1943 war nickel. I got a handful of wheats as well.

Later on, I got a V nickel, my first of the year 1909! After what seemed like an hour of walking around and not finding much, I got a good dime signal 5 inches down. I pop up my plug, but my pinpointer isn’t finding it. After probably 10 minutes of searching in the hole I was ready to give up and call it a day, until my pinpointer finally found it. I pop it up and it’s a horseshoe token with the words “willow calf” on the back. This is the link for it: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63066.html

Turns out it’s from the 1890s!

Overall another solid day of hunting! That puts me at five straight hunts with a silver.

Ya buddy, way to go on some sweet digs. I love the V nickel especially. We don’t find a lot of those.

Nice finds!
That token seems rare... and it made it a long way from Boston for the 1890s.
Good job on the merc and war nickel. I count the war nickels in my silver count, too. I think it shows diligence to the hobby, digging those tones that aren't necessarily a sure thing. Could be a war nickel, could be a pulltab. Only one way to find out!
