Went out to an old house site that has been there since the slavery days, and found a few things! The house is still occupied so there were a ton of targets. We only hit it for about 2 hours, and only went for the solid hits. Found 2 silvers (my first silver and my dad's first silver - his was the mercury 
), 3 wheaties (my first), a commemorative token, a button and some other odds and ins. The first thing I saw when I pulled the token out was the 1801 date on it...that had my heart going for a second. I knew it was a cheap metal from the weight though so I was skeptical. I did a little research and it looks like it may have been made of bronze/aluminum in the 1960s. Bummer! Didn't find anything from the 1800s, but there's still a lot more ground to cover!
The button says 'Squeeze' twice and has a big 'S' in the middle. Doesn't look like something too old as far as I can tell. Haven't done any research yet. Can't get any pictures of the wheat pennies uploaded but the dates are 1951, 1951 and 1953.
