Postcard finds

It’s been a while since I have updated this blog. I haven’t been doing that much detecting lately. When I have gotten out I have been going back to an old Cleveland park. The first picture is a Mercury Dime found at the site shown in an old postcard (1920’s):

I also picked up another silver rosie on the hunt:





On earlier hunts in August I concentrated on the old Sledding Hill:

Another hunt with Dan in August yielded a couple more silver. There was one spot that Dan and I discussed. I told him we never really found anything in the spot but he proceeded to go to it.

Finally, near my work is a site that dates back to pre 1874. It’s the same site that I found a civil war token back in the spring. It’s really overgrown now but I still found some interesting items:
