Well yesterday I was driving around and I saw This Old House and noticed a old man in the yard , so I decided stop by make contact with him introduce myself and ask about the house , he sid that house was built in 1888 and it sits on 2.5 acres. I asked for permission to search the yard and he said no problem have fun so I went this morning and started my hunt excited believing I'll be pulling silver after silver but after 4 hours of hunting I was only able to pull out a commemorative token 20170830_114858.jpg 20170830_114902.jpg 20170830_114855.jpg 20170831_091355.jpg 20170831_130926.jpg 20170831_130939.jpg

The token looks like it may have been worn around the neck as pendant and then turned into a button.

2.5 acres is a lot of land. Try thinking outside the box and maybe hit it again?

Very interesting find! :occasion14:

IMHO, there will be a lot of keepers on that property. The key will be going real slow (you have a Minelab) and listening to the sweet sound of silver we all know as Minelab users. :icon_thumright:

I would not be the least bit disappointed with that cool old token coin converted into a pendant then a button?!? That thing has BUKU CHARACTER and is old and historically significant. I absolutely love finds like that. I would be hitting that place hard searching for other cool stuff dating back to that token. Going slow as the Minelab needs to process a lot of information.:headbang:

Not so much of a token as a commemorative medallion. Cool find. The 2 middle holes were added later, only they top hole should be there.

Very cool! If that token could talk I bet it would have a lot to say about its use. Not just a token looks like it was worn as a pendant and then a button. Well done. Property looks nice but was probably resurfaced if you didn't find much, unless it was heavily detected before.

Congrats and HH
