Finds from recent metal detecting hunts

1897 Nickle


1941  Quarter, Wheat Cents, clad change, a token, a couple of keys, and some jewelry.



1894 Indian Head Cent, 1956 Wheat Cent, Tokens (1 generic and 1 from the 1968 Mardi Gras), a key, and clad change.


Cool Padlock and Coins


This is the good stuff from a couple of recent hunts.  Found a great old padlock with about 2 feet of chain still attached.  I also found an 1897 Indian Heat Cent, 1916/1918/1919/1939 wheat cents, a 1920 walking liberty 1/2 dollar, a token from the 1894 San Francisco Exhibition (I would love to know how that got to East TN), some clad change, several keys, a stirrup, a small metal duck, and a couple of shotgun shells.
