Okay guys (and gals) Califormia has the Kinzli forum, we need to start posting our stuff where we can all see what each other is finding here at home. I will start it out with this:
I hit an 1880’s house on Sunday. This token was found dead center in the front yard. I haven’t found or seen one like it so I did some research on the token. The front reads “Graham and Morton Lines” The back reads “The Grand Excursion Line, St Joe 50 cents, Grand Rapids $1.35” and features a steam ship in the center. Found in Pittsburg KS on 082807. Other weekend finds include an 1893 Half and misc wheats.

. They replaced the turf on the football stadium a few years ago and I found a ton of silver in the turf they tore up. They piled it in a huge pile east of the campus and would take a few feet off at a time to build the vets memorial. So, there is probably a bunch of silver coins buried in the berm around the vets memorial. I havent got the courage (being a vet myself) to hunt the memorial (yet! 
). Also, I got an idea for a future hunt, 1860ish town site, now a field. Maybe next year you can do the hunt in Crawford County.
