silver wheats, and a 1910 grand lodge medal " updated info on medal"
Howdy all,
Got out today with Detectingfreak and had a blast. I will let him tell the story. We drove to a couple new spots and weren't disappointed. My first keeper was the 1910 medal. I managed it at 6.5 inches next to the sidewalk. Thanks to CATFISHJK1 we know it is an Oddfellows medal. . I also managed 6 wheats and a 1962d rosie, lots of clad and trash. All in all an awesome day. Luck in the hunt.

UPDATED INFO
Frank Henderson was selling and / or making swords, regalia and military goods from 1850 until his death in 1899 and his company, Henderson-Ames co continuing until 1923. From 1850 to 1871 he operated his business under his name, Frank Henderson, in Kalamazoo MI. In 1871, Henderson formed a partnership with Theron F Giddings and started the Henderson & Giddings co. This only lasted until 1873 when the name was changed back to Frank Henderson. From 1873 to 1893 Henerson put out catalogs selling fraternal goods and began selling as an agent for the Ames Sword co. In 1893, Henderson consolidated his regalia company with the Chicago based branch of the Ames Sword Co forming the Henderson Ames Co. In 1894, Henderson bought the Detroit regalia factory of E. A. Armstrong, including sword plant, stock, tools, machinery, furniture and fixtures. When Henderson died in 1899, his firm continued in business until it was purchased and dissolved by M. C. Lilley co in 1923
