A true MAINE relic ! Ahhh ? Made in NEW JERSEY !

[MaineRelic]

I recieved permission from a neighbor down the street from me to detect on his apartment lawn . It was a fair sized lawn maybe 1/2 an acre . Hit it for three hours this morning and made a few decent finds !! The Whitehead & Hoag CO. MAINE key chain / watch fob really made my morning ! I even did a little happy dance ! Whitehead & Hoag of Newwark NJ. made Items of this type from 1880 to 1955. Some of the medals, tokens, fobs ect..that they made are quite collectible. I suspect this was made in the mid 40s to the mid 50s scince this was the age of the wheaties and JEFF nickels and the silver Rosie that were found in close proximity. It has the State tree on top and the State seal on the lower left and it is in fine shape !! I am stoked about this FIND Away from this near a big old maple tree in the middle of the lawn. I hit a 2 coin spill . An beaten up V nickel and the 1900 barber dime . on the edge of the lawn near the woods I got a very crusty 1864 Indianhead thanks for looking MaineRelic
