I haven't found one of these in a while! More farm silver.

I got out to the silver farm for a little while this afternoon, and it was like old times (except without the children ;D). The day's first silver was a 62D Rosey, followed by this good luck token. A few years ago, I found a lot of these, but it's been quite a while since. This says "VERNON W RODEHEAVER U.S. NAVY" and I'm sure someone out there knows how to get information about him! Jared? ;D I also managed five wheats, but they're pretty chewed up. One is definitely a 34; the rest will require some sanding to bring a date back to life. The day's final find was a 51 Rosey that may have been encased in gum at some point; it required a little cleaning just to bring FDR to light.

Looks like your Good Luck token guy's luck JUST ran out. He passed away last Spring.

Vernon W. Rodeheaver,

80, Bruceton Mills, WV, died Wednesday, May 28, 2008, at Preston Memorial Hospital, Kingwood, WV.
The son of the late Dewey and Edna Uphold Rodeheaver, he was born June 25, 1927, in Richard, WV.
He was a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II, an avid reader, his favorite subjects were astronomy and history, and enjoyed deer hunting.
Vernon was survived by a daughter, Nancy Shumaker, who was his caregiver; a son-in-law, Earl Shumaker of Grafton, WV; a daughter, Linda McCausland of Georgetown, PA, and her husband, Ronald McCausland, serving in Iraq with the USAF; a sister, Mildred Sisler of Georgia; and five nieces and their families.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Hubert Wayne Rodeheaver.
His daughters wish to express their sincere gratitude and appreciation to James and Patricia Rodeheaver for the love and kindness during their Dad\'s illness; also, to the wonderful staff of Preston Home Health, Preston Memorial Hospital and Hospice Care Corp.
The family held a memorial service and burial at the Parnell Cemetery, Cuzzart, WV.
The Carl R. Spear Funeral Home, Brandonville-Bruceton Mills, assisted the family with arrangements and provided cremation services.

They are pretty neat! I search in and around an old closed down amusement park and found quite a few. It would be cool to track some of these people down. All kinds of names of people,all kinds of lives. Lovers,friends,who knows how many years ago they were printed. Anyhow makes you wonder who they are. They are more interesting than finding a few coins. :thumbsup: :D

Aww. :-\ Great research, Matt. And I'm sure they'd love to have that token.

Great that you could find that silver....and even without your lucky princess being there. ;D :thumbsup:
