Brass SS "card" and a 1911 coin...
My 14year old Son and I checked out a home site listed on a 1860's map that is now the middle of a field.... turns out some fill was hauled in and so we found mostly a bunch of junk....
He found a brass Social Security card with the Ace 250.... never knew they existed! He almost threw it away as junk, but I looked at it and thought it was a serial # tag off of a piece of farm equipment.... much to my surprise it was this card. He was pleased to know he got the best find of our hour of hunting. 8) In doing some research this gentleman was born in 1876, not sure yet when he died. Anybody have any insight as to a date on this piece?
The only find I could lay claim to was this 1911 "coin"...
Oh well, at least the next site we went to netted my brother in law a nice 1851 large cent....
Guess that means the next decent find should be mine, right?
