I know it's never been detected BUT..........

I went and did one little section inside one of the foundations (see pic). Found tons of copper pieces from the roof, tokens, washers and little relics so I know it hasn't been detected, but no coins

Apparently this is where all the trash from the fire ended up so most of these relics are pretty much toast from the fire. I found out I can detect two big sections outside of the house, hopefully that's where the coins are.

You will have a lot better luck outside the foundation. :icon_thumleft:

Hope you find where the coins are, looks like a great spot.

However I would get rid of the Good Luck token, doesn't look like it worked for the previous owners :tongue3:

Re: I know it's never been detected BUT..........

I looked at the pictures you have posted of your finds. They are great. One of the finds I believe may be a pinback from one of the 1930's cowboy stars. I do not remember if it is a cereal premium or something else. I found an object that looks very much like it awhile ago. In your picture, the second one from the end of all the items pictured is a hoseshoe looking item. I found one that turned out to be a pinback for a 1930's cowboy character by the name of Buck Jones. You did not list it as one of the things you found and, it doesn't appear that any of the responders identified it. When you clean it up let us know if that is what it is. Thanks for the post.

Looks like relics from a fire. Token seems to read: New Year, World's Fair 1939; and Good Luck, 1 Kendall

?, Penmsylvania Oil, Guaranteed Red ?ent(maybe Dent?) Radford. Item below token may be the knocker for a door knocker. Looks like it has separated from it's holder which would have been attached to the door.

Have you researched any fires at this location?

The original house burned in the late 1900's and rebuilt using part of the original foundation, then burned again around 2000. I like the door knoc :icon_thumright:

Keep at it, the coins will come! Seriously, how many of us get to detect around a period foundation that is on as well-groomed grounds as that one.

Bond, holy crap, I almost threw that piece of metal away. I looked at it with the magnifying glass and sure enough there was the cowboy with "Buck Jones Club" around the edge. I'm going to try and clean it up and take another pic...THANK YOU :notworthy:
