Hi y'all!
*sorry in advance for pictures, I'm a treasure hunter, not a photographer*
I had a pretty Ok hunt today at an 1880 house, on a property that supposedly had an 1820 house at one time, I haven't found any evidence of it yet though.
Anyway, here is what I found... a 1908 IH, 191X and 1942 Wheaties, nd Buffalo, a 1942 silver Washington and possibly best of all, ~1918 savings check token that could be deposited for half a cent from Painesville, Oh which is close to where I was detecting.

If anyone knows what the little brass thing left of the token went to please share, it appears to have been broken off of something on the bottom.
Not pictured is 26c of modern change, a bunch of mason jar lids and 2 pocket knives.

The landowner let me go under the front porch which was made of stone, I didn't find much other than a 1948 Canada Dry. It's not old but I'll take it, usually the labels on this sort of thing don't seem to preserve super well but the porch was made of flat stones so not much water could get in.

Thanks for reading and Happy Hunting!
