Gang,
Haven't been digging or posting much but been watching your great finds. I went back to the 1850's house in Yellow Springs again a found a neat token.

It was 5 ft from where we always park the car...lol

It was too hot and humid today to do much but just had to get out this Friday--well, any day actually.

The token came up as a 35-45 VDI signal on my M6 at 4-5 inches deep. It is as big as a large cent but light weight--not aluminum though.

Yellow Springs Ohio




Interesting note: I showed it to an older lady in town at a garage sale and she said it was probably from the old DeWine Mill that was there in the early 1900's and that was the same DeWine family whose relative is an Ohio, Senator.

I asked her about any other older properties where I might detect and she said her house was from the 1900's so I now have a new place to detect...yahooooooo!
I think getting her to talk about it made me seem less scary and that is why she agreed.

Nice find Soreknees, it's always fun to find a Token. Hope you find more goodies at that site and maybe the other one too.
