1853 Half Dime, V-Nickel, 2 IH's, Token, Silver Dimes, Quarter, What a DAY!!

Well Gary and I got out today, and what a Day it was. It kinda started off slow. We stopped at an old Church site, and wasn't really finding anything. Then Bang!, Gary found a couple of IH's 1895 & 1899 and a 1902 V Nickel and I came up with a really nice Horseshoe. I then found a really nice 1853 Half Dime.

We left this site and headed for what I call my Silver Dollar site, cause I found a 1899 Silver Dollar there back in Jan. of this year. I found a 1914 wheat penny, no mint mark darn it, a 1943 Washington Quarter, a really nice blue clay marble, a Shrader-Uneversal Tire Air Pressure Gauge, a P & A button, and a porcelain doll leg with shoe.

Gary found at this site an old metal shoe last, not sure if that's what it's called, a what looks like a kids brass knuckle, two Mercury dimes 1925 & 1927, a really cool bottle which says Otto's Cure for Throat and Lungs and a neat token which says 20th Conv. K & P Indianapolis on the back and two faces on the front, with damon-pytmia3. Beats me what that is.

What started off as a not so good a day, ended up a GREAT DAY.

Hope you all had a good day of hunting also. Ringfinder

What you have there is a token from the Knights of Pythias, formed in 1864. The fraternal organization formed a secret "Endowment Rank" to escape insurance laws in 1887. After the stock market crash, the insurance group became known as "United Mutual Life" in 1930. It had almost a million members at one time, and F.D.R. became a member in 1936. Really COOL token! Hey, you could go to the "Pythian Sisters Bowl-A-Thon" in Columbus on May 19th. I'm sure they'd be able to give you more information and tell you how you could join!
