Elkhart finds for smasheriii2004 "They're out there"

Smasher,

You mentioned there wasn't much posted here about local finds so I thought I would throw a few up here to let you see that they are here in the ground just waiting for us to dig em' up.

1905 V Nickle found at McNaughton Park on 6/17/09
Trade Token found at Willowdale Park 6/07/09
Ring, 2 Wheaties, and SLQ found here in town on private property that I had just about given up on

Anyone else can add their finds to this as inspiration to our locals to see and the finds don't have to be recent either.

Yeah the token is pretty cool.

I did get some information on the business that it is from and the time frame in which they were open, so it dates the token between from 1904-1919 when Prohibition began.

According to a newspaper clipping that I received from the S.B. Library “Among good eating and drinking establishments, Hagedorn’s Buffet was practically a legend.”

Kinda makes me think that with prohibition he closed his doors.
