I have been trying to get to know my new area that I have moved to. I have been doing a little exploring of new areas, convincing of police officers, (that I will not damage parks) and a little treasure hunting........
1. Everything, minus clad.
2. I found this nice thick silver ring that was suppose to be a quarter..... Glad the Ace makes mistakes! lol
3. I found this Indian hiding in a hole all by its self. I am still looking for the rest of the tribe. I have a new reservation for them all in Dansco County!
4. This old truck still had the tires intact..... Well kind of. This was a fun one to pull up.
5. This Red Goose $5.00 Shoe token was probably my favorite find. Here is a little info......
The Red Goose Shoe Company of St. Louis, Missouri, began selling shoes to pioneer families headed west in 1869. The company's name was originally Gieseke-D'Oench-Hayes, after its founders, but when the company became advertising conscious in the early 1900's, they changed the name. Gieseke is German slang for "goose" so the goose image came naturally. The red color came later when, during the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, some stock boys painted the goose on the cartons red. The head of the company liked the idea, and so Red Goose Shoes was trademarked in 1906.
Will add the rest on................
