3 silvers and a really cool shoe token

[Missouri_John]

Yesterday i did some door knocking to get on some yards to hit, since i cant field hunt right now because of crops planted. Today i hit a house built in 1894 with a decent sized front yard, but was dissapointed i didnt find any coins dated before 1936. I came up with 1944,1936, and 1950 wheats............and 2 war nickles(44-D & 42-S) in the same hole........and a 41 merc. Toward teh end of my day i scored a really cool 20's-30's good luck token made by the Excelsior Shoe Company, and included with their shoes that they marketed toward the Boy Scouts. Note the swastika on the back of the token, which was considered a symbol of good luck before Adolf Hitler ruined it turned it into a symbol of Nazi hate

Nice token and still in good shape too!! The good luck symbol actually originates from Native Americans, how Hitler ever got a hold of it is beyond me.

It was also used by/and still is in northern Asia~and Tibetan regions(if memory serves correctly) for centuries before the scumbags corrupted it.

That's some great finds any day of the week!

Hope the rest of your prospects pan out.

~~Happy Hunting~~
