Hey everyone,
Here are some finds from Thanksgiving week. I was able to get out with some buddies but made a little trip north with my son and did some hunting. (don't worry Tom, I stayed right at the line)

The highlight of the week was a Repeal 18th Amendment pin which was a nice piece of history. It was put out by the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform. These are pretty rare from what I researched.

The other finds were a 1923 Australian 3 Pence to go alone with a few other silver coins and a silver ring. I also found 35 wheat pennies, a handful of marbles, a couple tax tokens, and a few other things.

Have a good week.
Jason

Oh my. That's a keeper!
 
Nice saves. Scrolling through your photos I saw some marbles but started to get worried, then I saw it: the mower kissed penny! I knew you could do it!
 
Very nice finds Jam! Love that pin, the 1935 quarter looks to be in great shape! A very nice hunt congrats!
 
Awesome finds. Love those little three pence coins. I’ve found two over the years.

Oh yeah that repeal pin is sweet, almost overshadows the silver, almost. And marbles, Would love to see a group shot on your year end round up. Congrats on the shiny, wheats, tokens and all the other cool digs. You have had a great year Jason with still a couple of weeks to go. Good luck, Mark

Thanks Mark! I usually make a year end post at the beginning on January. It has been my second worst silver year so far since I started 9 years ago, but have found some cool stuff.
 
Congrats on finding more quality finds! I’ve been out in LA quite a bit lately for work. SoCal looks like it’s a silver mine! I should grab my detector next time I head out there.:lol:
 
Nice haul of coins & marbles - congrats, Jason! :detector:

Thanks! Let me know if you are out this way and bring the detector. It's definitely not easy out here.
 
Damn Jason I need to start following you around lol.... I've been drawing blanks here lately... Congrats that's all holes you dug :) Looks like it paid off as well :)
