1863 Civil War Token Sold By Wagners Dinning Hall, Columbus, Ohio

[crazyjarhead]

Good evening everyone. I decided try my luck at new hunting spot that I was given permission to hunt on Saturday while hunting the old church lot in Woodstock, Ohio. The house was owned by Mrs. Fairchild and built in 1852, the owner tells me. It has a large back yard but plenty of bushes growing everywhere. She is divorced and she was the one who asked me to hunt her place. Needless to say I accepted.
My maps are from 1874. You can tell by the map how big the lot is. I'll be working this for a while


I wasn't in the back yard more than 30 minutes and got a dime/penny signal on my Ace. I thought just modern junk at barely 4 inches. When I dug the plug and pulled out the coin I thought it was some kind of token. I resembles a coin, and it is a coin used during the CW because of the shortage of coins during the war. Pretty thing flanked by 13 stars. I don't know who the person is on the front??Make sure you read the links so you know what it is. Very interesting published in 1998. There is only approx. 802- 2789 are known to survive.

I am happy because it is a piece of CW history that I didn't know existed. What a cool looking coin. On top of that I found 7 wheat's 1919 being the oldest and 1935 being the newest. I Also found the face of an old lock. Man when I saw that US staring me in the face I thought, OMG CW belt plate. I almost fell over running to grab my camera This place is trash free and is every bit as good as the J.A. McDonald house I hunted for 15 months. I am really excited about this place and know there is some more goodies lurking. However, I have to make a run to California Friday and won't be back for a few weeks. Enjoy the pics and have a good one. Hope to find more when I get back. Ron S.

Way to go Ron!!! Just give me the address of that house and I will have all the stuff hunted out, I mean, ready for you, when you get back from your run..lol

How do you get such great places and I am glad it was found in ohio. I always assume the good stuff is elsewhere.
Now you have a CW find.....cool!
So what is the deal with the belt buckle?
Is it anything special...


SKD

Terry, that was a lock face, not a buckle. I thought it was when I saw the US.
