Found - 1910 Swastika Good Luck Token and Silver

[Silver Worm]

I hunted two different sites today. My fist hunt was at a closed school built in 1907. Most of the grounds are now covered by gravel and excess equipment as the building and grounds are being used as a storage area for a local university. I did manage to find a 1910 Excelsior Shoe Company Boy Scout token with "swastika" good luck symbol on back. This was before the Nazis adapted it as their symbol. My second hunt was of short duration at a burnt down school in Artesia, Ms. I was told of an adjacent field that was once used for football games. I was only able to hunt 15 minutes before having to leave for an appointment. I did hit on an 1946 Rosie 10" down with the trusty AT Pro. Will definitely be returning to that site!

Nice finds, you shouldn't call it a swastika. It was a traditional good luck symbol long before the Nazi's perverted it's meaning.

Thanks, and that's why I put it in parentheses.
