Got a 1909 wheatie and a dated suspender buckle from the old cellar hole in the woods

[mr helton]

All of this was found at the place I used to put this together http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...-ve-been-working-month-so-am-legit-proud.html

I found a couple of suspender buckles, both a little outside of the main area and in the woods where I normally have trouble accessing with the summer plants.


And then I got a frozen clod of icy dirt (this is right near where I broke my shovel). Think how excited I was to see this..


JUST missed being an indian head, but fortunately, it's my oldest wheat penny at least! 1909! Sadly no mint mark :P


And check it out, one of the suspender buckles is the first one I ever got with writing on it. It has a date!

Love the suspender buckle...found one a long time ago just like it. What is strange is the two different patent dates, only one day apart. Wonder what that story is all about.

Wow that is really cool thanks for posting it! Really odd that the dates are off by a day too

Maybe a little more of a search there may give up the hasp portion of it, it's probably nearby where you found the main portion.
