Had the pleasure to head east with DirtyRob and meet up with Flushdraw. I want to thank you for letting us come out and dig with u.

I had a blast and it was a first for me hunting old plowed homesteads in the middle of farms.

He had some really nice places the first one we went to was my favorite. I dont care what I dig as along its a relic. We dug tons of iron but the highlight of that site for me was a token and my first Crotel Bell well part of it.

got this info on the Token from a member

I found a listing for Brant & Beebe in Warsaw, IN as cigars & billiards in the 1918 Dun. By the time of the 1928 Dun the listing is Beebe & Bumbaugh as cigars & billiards in Warsaw. It seems pretty likely that is where the token is from

Then on Sunday went to my Spot I been working the XP in full tones and got some goodies

I got a realy good signal but it was deep and iffy. Indian one way and nickel the other way

this plug was deep my whole propointer and 1/2 of my raptor digger got a lil spill

That's a nice spot you got there on your Sunday hunt! Love the injun/V pocket spill! Awesome little watch too. Looks to be of the gold filled variety as opposed to the gold plated one.

Congrats,

Glad you and Rob made the trip! Lots of fun detecting with you guys! Those are nice silvers! The fab is an excellent find. When I find another field as good as the first I will let you know! Your always welcome here.
 
Well - look at mine pin watch. Very similar to yours, found about two weeks ago. It's just amazing how people are finding pretty unique stuff about the same time. :)
Looks gold, but turned out to be heavy plated. Great find no matter what.



As for the croatal - it dates around 1850, may be a bit earlier, but definetly has nothing to do with XVIII century. :)
