well got out today for a few hours . went to a place that i have known about for some time but just saving it for today glad i did found a silver 1964d dime and some neat stuff . found a coin that when i dug it out i thought it was a large cent all i could make out was a liberty face boy was i jumping for joy couldn't really tell what it was till i got home to clean it . now i don't know what i found need help its the size of a large cent it has the face of liberty and liberty on the head ban the words COMP. SMAR-- cant make out the last two letters and 8 stars along the rim .on the back it has a eagle with a shield the words COMPOSITION- SPLE MARKE with 5 stars . have any ideal where its from it has no date that i can see but at the top it looks like it was hit with a bullet that put a small dent in it thanks bjb
went back today didn't find much in the yard found a few wheat's and two tax tokens and a eagle thing looks like it has 4 small holes in each corner of it to mount it to something and a copper ring that has new england on the inside . well the real treasure was waiting for me inside the old house so hears the story . after i got done with the yard i thought i would take a peek in the house this house is run down and about ready to fall so i really hesitated to go in well it got the best of me so in i went there was allot of trash but i started to look at spots where someone would maybe hide a cache. looking for loose floor boards checking the walls .well i got to the closet and up high on a shelf in the back was a small box i had to jump up to see it and take it down i looked in and out jumps a mouse i threw the box down and a mouse nest and a stack of papers fall out i almost walked away but stooped to look at the papers . there were old letters , stamps and all dating from 1870 to1950 land deeds dating 1894 to1914 old war post cards ,tax paid receipt from 1887 to1896 a few pocket books . and a homestead certificate signed by Theodore Roosevelt dated 1902 and the list goes on a pocket guide dating 1904 to 1905 with a list of all states with a list of towns and if they had a bank a telegraph office and the population to the census of 1900 this will help in finding those towns that are long gone and ones that had the most people in them meaning more lost $ .thanks all bjb
