Default Some of the keepers......

...I have found over the past few months.

Top left - Tokens one is a "Dandy Tender" and has "261" on the reverse.
The other is a Mississippi Sales Tax Token good for 5 mils. Both found in the old park.

Top Right - Earrings look cheap. LOL I dug one up at a sand filled volleyball lot and filled the hole and swung over it. Got the SAME tone again. I thought to myself there is NO way I'm going to find the matching earring. Hehe.

Middle left - a very small Mary medallion found in the old park.

Cupid medallion was found in another volleyball lot and looks to have a small diamond in the upper part of his bow. The bottom diamond is missing.

Top Ring - 18k plated Masonic ring found in a very old park.

Middle Ring - Silver Birthstone found in my front yard looking for my sister's birthstone ring she lost in the 60's.

Bottom Ring - 18k wedding band found in same old park.

Bottom right - 1858 Flying eagle cent found in the old park. It's pretty worn and looks to have had a hole drilled in it then filled back in?

Bottom Center - New Zealand 1934 One Shilling - found in my backyard.

Of course there is the couple dozen or so wheaties found. Six at one sidewalk pull where I now have permission to follow the crew because one of the crew happens to carry his MD with him but is not local and was not sure of the "laws" locally. He's been schooled and will probably get the good stuff. LOL. They are doing a massive replacement of sidewalks in what is the oldest part of our town. Very near the old train freight depot too.

Missing from the photo is another silver ring with possibly a ruby found at the old park which I left at my mothers after showing her.

And about 3 inches of dirty clad in an old coffee can and another can with allot of curious metal items.

Still looking for a silver coin (The NZ Shilling is 50%) and IH to really make my day.

Wow now I feel better catching up and hope to share more in the future.

Great finds you have there! Keep up the great work searching those sidewalk tear-ups. You should lead that crew worker who metal detects also to Treasure Quest!
