History Hunt #8
Louisiana and Mississippi January 8,9,10 and 11, 2015 Another fun hunt as usual with an unexpected Gold Ring find. I go on these History Hunts with the expectations of finding some nice Civil War relics and maybe some old coins. It's a bonus when something like this old class ring is recovered. I love ring finds and it is my favorite find of this hunt but I did pop 4 beautiful Eagle Buttons and a 1906-O Barber Dime. I found a neat depression period Mississippi Tax Token along with some other neat odds and ends. |

Featured Finds........................
I recoverd 4 Eagle buttons on this trip and they are beauties.. That is a record for me. Check out the live videos of 2 of the button finds.

The larger Eagle button is a coat button and this one has incredible detail. Look at that!
|
Mississippi Tax token that I found in Louisiana. It's made from aluminum and this one is in great shape.
|
These tokens were used in the 1930's. Check out the live video of this find. It fooled me as I thought I had a silver in the hole. Still a great find.
|
1906-O Barber Head Dime. And no I did not nick this one. Must have been a plow.
|
Notice the "O" mint mark with is for New Orleans. I understand that a lot of the coins found in that area are O's which makes sence.

Very old eating utencils.
|
Old buckles and an old hook.
|
Assorted bullets.
|
Part of an old gas latern.
