Haven't posted in awhile since my wife gave birth to our first child. And I haven't really been out hunting either. I did get the chance today to head out for a little while. Hunted a bean/corn field that used to have a house on it. House has been gone since the eraly 50's.

Usually the fertilizer in the fields is hard on Indians and Lincolns, but I did manage to find a pretty nice 1898 Indian. Also found a good luck Boy Scout token with a Swastika on it. Says it is manufactured by the Excelsior Shoe Company of Portsmouth, O. Boy Scount rider on a horse on the front, and the swastika on the back for good luck.

Saw a couple of them like it on ebay, and looks to be from the 1920's or 30's.
That was about it for today. HH to everyone and thanks for looking.

Nice finds, Could the swastika be the Indian type? I know they look the same but are in opposite directions!

Here is a picture of the back of the coin with the Indianhead penny. Hopefully you can make out the swastika. It has a horseshoe, four leaf clover, and wishbone inside the swastika. Is says emblem of the boy scouts club.

I saw a few on ebay, but nothing that actually says boy scouts on it like this one does. Some very similar but not this one. Thanks for the reply.
