I went out hunting this evening for two whole hours. I had planned on going to an old park that holds promise for old coins but at the last minute I made a change to my plans and instead went to the soccer field where I found the pre-1900 shipping tag.
If you’ve read some of my older posts, you may know that I am now actively looking for gold by digging mid tones. The soccer field has been in use for a couple of decades and there is a chance that there is gold there. Today however, I did not find any gold nor did I find any silver. I managed to find some clad, a ton of pull tabs, old beaver-tail style and new square ones (I HATE the new square ones! They sound and look like a good target every time), a brass bracelet about 5 inches down and a sobriety token written in Spanish.
No gold nor silver; just brass
The legend above and below the Phoenix in the token reads: “Rebirth and growth from the ashes of addiction”. The reverse side of the token has the Serenity Prayer in Spanish. The token is the same size as a U.S. half dollar coin.
Judging by the size of the bracelet, it is a child’s bracelet. I found the bracelet in the original baseball diamond built in the 50’s when the school was built. I have hopes of finding silver there still.
We are expecting a winter storm to hit tomorrow –Dec 19, or the day after. After that we will have some more sunny days. I may still get 35 silver coins for the year (I have 33 as of today), or actually half the year since I started detecting in the very last days of May 2011.
Thank you for looking!
The Dirt Is Good To Me 
Those are still sweet finds even though they are just brass. I love finding tokens!
