I got out early today and hit a park in town and later, one out of town. I can usually hunt till dark, but I was pooped by 5 PM. I was having a good hunt but it started raining and gave me a good excuse to head home.
This morning I found my first pocket spill, seven zinclincolns. I also found a local token, "Good for 5 cents".
I headed to a park out of town that I have found some silver at in the past. I didn't find any today but did find a semi-key date Wheat, a 1910-S in pretty rough shape. Also found an eagle button that is bent up.
It was a really fun day with lots of stuff to dig!

Thanks for looking and HH,
Rick

Love the token! And I can't believe that with all the clad you've posted on the FMDF that you just now found your first pocket spill! Congrats!!! Aren't they fun?!?!? :yes:
 
Good digging, the Token is a sweet find and love the Wheatie, it's a toughie..

Looks like you had a very successful hunt. Hunts where you find a variety of old and new keep things interesting. The button and penny are some good finds. Too bad the button is in rough shape. As the days get longer, it is hard not to get worn out after a full days hunt.:yes:
 
Rick - a good take for the day. The token is listed in my Az token book at $10.00 - 1911 - 1914 pool hall & saloon. But the price was set in 1990 - worth a lot more now I'm sure. The eagle button dates from 1902 to present. steve in so az

Thanks for the ID Steve! I should get one of those token books, does it give other information about the tokens?

HH,
