Had to get out metal detecting It was a cold, overcast, windy and with a sparse snow cover on the Maine island where I live. Despite that, I just had to get out of the house... Visited a permission with mid-1800's home and acres of fields.
Rewarded for the effort by a couple late-1800's/early-1900's silver plate spoons, a 1937 'Buffalo' nickle -- and this TREASURE: remnants of a 1939 Orphan Annie secret decoder pin. Shown are the one I found and a non-dug example.
Brings back memories of listening to Jean Shephard on late night WOR AM radio out of NYC as a kid. He frequently would recount his childhood memories, including a humorous experience with an Orphan Annie Decoder... Tales of the decoder are recounted in his 1983 seasonal classic movie "Christmas Story"
