TAX TOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nana40]

Sound familiar? Yup, still finding those pesky little tax tokens. However, I did dig an extra special one today. Made me think of my buddy Rob. Mississippi
Our fall hunting season has really just started here. Summer temps were brutal and we didn't hunt very much this summer. Cooler temps finally arrived here several weeks ago and we've been out and about hunting here and there. No snakes, no ticks and no gnats. On our first hunt to my favorite wooded site for the season, I found a shield nickel.



We had a new place lined up that was pretty neat. Found a Buffalo nickel and Rosie, lots of wheats and other misc stuff.






Here's some of the keepers.....




Went to a site that I just knew was going to be a good one. Not to be, but just being out and digging was great after that long hot summer.





We've came across this new site to hunt recently. A pasture that use to have an old store on it (30's-70's). We hunted there a day or two and found a couple of keepers....a merc, AF button and wheats, a little trinket with the 10 commandments and a LOT of aluminum. OH...and while venturing out into the pasture on the other side of nowhere, I came across this neat little pistol!

We had our hopes up for the adjoining property and got permission this week. Mondays hunt was quite chilly. I think we made it up to 39 degrees that day. This place is loaded with iron and what!? Pulltabs! It's been quite an experience to hunt here. It's in a corn field that didn't get harvested this fall. Double bite my lip! That place is a bugger to hunt!



But after digging a pile of scrap iron, I've found a few keepers to bring home.
Love to find the trade tokens, so I was happy with this one:



And I found a neat aluminum baking powder token and a 1905 Indian along with two marbles:



And the scrap bucket from today....



The funniest sight was looking over and seeing Lisa crawling under the truck digging all the corn stalks out of the bumper of the Tahoe after taking a peek at another site on the other end of the field. Sure wish I'da had my camera handy.
Have a great week ya'll!!

WOW. You're killin me. Great hunt.

Now that it's cooled down, all the hunters are in the woods and I'm on hold.

I love those finds, especially the "TEN COMANDMENTS". 8) I found one just like it in my grandmothers front yard. I swear she left it there for me to find. I've been carring it with me for almost two years now. Kinda feels good to know it's there.

Good luck to ya. I like seeing those Alabama finds.

Looks like a lot of nice stuff. I wish the pictures were higher resolution. It's hard to see the details on some of that loot.

The shield nickel is sweet and the token very nice.

What are ticks? I did encounter one in Virginia once.

We loved the Summer here in Ohio. Not really "hot" but warm with little rain. Even our September and November were great. We actually almost set a record for consecutive days without snow on the ground! But quite the opposite has transpired lately. Snow is making the holiday season merry. sigh.

Good luck. Find some good ones for Nate and I.

Great Stuff Nana........Coins, tokens and
relics..all the goodies you expect to find for a seasoned Detectorest! Besides the cold weather like you said at least the snakes and other critters are ( say in for the winter )...No detecting up here in the northeast have only 35 inches of snow on the lawn......lol Great Job as always!

Have a great holiday!!!

Keep on Digging......John w.

Great post Nana,
You two ladies have been busy. You find tokens like I find pull tabs. Tokens are a great find I think.
Congrats on the "V" nickel. I know you just started scratching the surface on that new spot. Good luck to you.
I'm heading out right now myself.

[kimsdad]

Lot's of great finds, Nana!!!

I'm especially giving it up for that trade token!

 

[Tnmountains]

Love the Tokens. Have a question for you. Was the 10 commandments on a little brass square with a hole in it? Good hunt and the weather is much better than this summer.
Congratulations

Nice finds and pics! You are persistent and do well in the finds. HH, Mike

 

[Nana40]

Wow! Ya'll!
Thanks, Jim, Spitfire, KC, Squirrel, FC, Mike and Burt!
Brad...YES! You KNOW that's gotta be a War Eagle! I knew you'd spot it!
Thanks, Romeo!
Kent- Thanks! I hope you got out today! Tomorrow is suppose to be COLD! Good luck!!
Thanks, Hispan, Muffin Al and River!
OK ME....I posted those zippa pulls just for you and you didn't even notice. Here's some info on the button via Modern Miner.....Air Force 1949 silver plated. Has to be the best condition button I've found. Didn't have to spent much time at all cleaning it. Thanks!!




Thanks Jer. I hope you can get a few more hunts in this year too. Love seeing them.
BRRRR, WWW! Maybe it'll go away and you can get back out there. Thanks!
Thanks Jerry!
TATH....NO rings this time.
Thanks, Senti!!
RANDY! I know bout those hunters! Still places here we can't get to yet as well. And that's a sweet story on your Ten Commandments find. I bet she did too.
Thanks, Civil, DW, AA!
Thanks, Bob! What do you wanna see? I took a few more pics for ya and cropped a few. I was limited to 12 in the first post.
I think the oval item is a hair barrette. And I always love to find the marbles..thought the black and white was was pretty neat.

Here's the Mississippi tax token and the baking powder token...







Thanks, Antiq, JR and Mr. T.
Thanks, John. THIRTY FIVE inches of snow!!??! Wow! That's just crazy! And here we get all excited at the mention of flurries.
TCharger!
MM...What did ya find? Got my Christmas card today. Thanks!! Gotta love Clint, huh? ..oh..and that be a 'shield' nickel.



Thanks, JG and KD!
Thanks, TnMtns. I think this was worn on a necklace. I can see where the little hoop was, but is broken off. On the back it says "The Ten Commandments."


Thanks, Mike! Lisa would probably say the same on the persistance. I email her on Sunday afternoons to see what days we're going to hunt the next week. (I hate to hunt alone!)
Thanks again! Have a great weekend!

After hours of debate on how to respond,here it is--All The Above!


Are you sure that isn't an Oregon Duck instead of a War Eagle?Guess we'll know when the Bowls are over.
What is great about your hunts,darlin',besides the terrific finds,is the research you put into finding the places/owners.
I've seen those little 10 Commandents on key chains and hanging from rearview mirrors,however,I have not seen Lisa's butt sticking out from under a Tahoe,sucking out cornstalks,please arrange that on your next outing,meanwhile I'll keep that image up front in my mind.
Honest Nana,you did great as always and I'm still very proud of you and you are definitely now a detectorist,a very attractive one, that I would put my money on against anyone,male or female.You've come so far from 4-5 yrs ago.
marbles ,token ,bucket of scrap

Nana, you're right about the hoop being broke off. Here's the one I have been carrying for two years now. Feels good having it in my pocket.
