Made three trips to a mid-19th century brick house on a large lot in town. The wheaties are 46, 48, 51-D. No silver etc. But the token, which I believe was given to purchasers of a new 1933 Ford is nice. Also the brass plaque says, "Reduction et Trappe du Mevailles" A web french/english translation site translated trappe as trap door. The reverse also has the address: 22 Rue do Montmorency, Paris. The obverse shows a factory worker? and the text in the corner says "Duval Janvier". Did somebody get this as a memento for buying a steel cellar door maybe?
The dog tag is from the 1960's. I also really like the key.

Nice variety you dug up, Hoosier. That repair job on that pinpointer must have worked well. :)

Great finds, love the tokens, of course if you guys read my posts I LOVE TOKENS. My buddy
that I hunt with found a Ford token this year and I posted it on here. It was 100 years of Ford.

To answer your question traindispatcher, you can look for clubs in Indiana at
http://www.FMDAC.com
Go to Google also and type in Metal Detecting clubs for Indiana. If you don't find any
I can give you a email address that will set you in the right direction. Just e-mail me back.

Again great finds, keep the pictures coming. HH, Ringfinder, ( A Buckeye )
