Super fun hunt this time as the homeowner was interested in keeping some of the finds. They include a merc, name badge, vintage dog tag, bone handle pocket knife, FFA medallion, hem weight, and tootsie toy truck. Check out all the live digs right here on my YouTube channel "Hi Ho Silver"

Thanks for peeking and thanks for the help with the IDs. HH from KC and peace out.

Great Finds.
Looks like a were the home owners hero
 

Does the homeowner know who Austin is?
Yes, and I was able to return the tag to him along with a few wheaties from his yard. Not that valuable monetarily but it was his nephew and will likely be a conversation piece between them. Thanks for asking.
 

Another fun hunt, congrats!
Thanks and thanks for checking out the video! New Premiere video coming out tonight at 7:40 central time. Hit the "Notify Me" and it will send you a reminder. Peace out.
 

I think FFA is Future Farmers of America. Those hem weights also were used in curtains and drapes for many many years. Cool finds!

That is correct. It's still around, and still a big deal in areas with lots of farming.
