Got back to the 1801 house I've been hunting this week. Got another 4-5 wheats, bringing the total to about 25 in the front yard alone! Found a Gold Colour flat button and the only other notable find was this 1915 Illionois Registered Chauffeur Badge! I think it's pretty cool. One on ebay sold for 50+...

Also, the first day I hunted I found this wierd white circular thing, and the next day I found an old doorknob. Today the owner showed me that they fit perfectly together and he plans on getting it working to use on the front door! He had also lived in the house I was hunting as a kid so it was pretty cool handing over a bunch of coins, toys, and relics that were once his or his family's.

Unfortunately I had to give it back to the landowner, and he is going back to his actual house tonight (they rent out the 1801 house). You can see a cleaned one on this site: ILLINOIS - Badge News
 

Bummer u had to give up the badge. Looked really cool.
 

Found this Badge about a Year ago. Good Hunting!
