New place gives up Indians,silver,wheats ,2 tokens, marble and old key +more

[crazyjarhead]

Good evening everyone. Been having problems uploading my pics so I had to do it through my laptop which was a little time consuming. . Found a new place in the little town where my Grandmother grew up at. I actually obtained permission to hunt where she lived in the 1920's. My great, great grandfather here came here from Indiana lived there at one time. Then my Grandmother and Grandfather. I will post some pictures of the place later as I didn't have my camera that day. I do usually post pics of my finds because it makes it more interesting to the viewer like you. I'll have to clean the coins too. Sorry but been real busy lately. The first signal in the front yard was a 1905 Indian. Then I found my first marble. Then another Indian, a 1909. Found 10 wheat's, the oldest a 1914, 1917, some 20's, 30's and 1944 being the newest. I found 2 unique tokens which I am very happy for because one of them is a local token. This town didn't have much of a population through out history and only has about 300 some inhabitants today. The first token is brass and reads: Columbus Confection Co. On the back it reads: Accepted subject to restrictions. The other token reads: Good for 5 cents in merchandice. On the other side it reads: Mons place, Woodstock Ohio. Found an old key that is 5 inches long, a hot wheels Nissan 240Z car, a Uncle Sam play quarter from 1958, 3 shotgun shell brass bottoms. One is UMC Co. Nitro, a Peters Repeater, and a Federal cartridge. Found a 1945 Merc, a handfull of clad (a couple of dollars worth). Found a pocket watch face.....Age?? All in all I had a good hunt on a nice spring day. Was happy to be out and not digging frozen ground. Thanks for looking and have a happy hunting day........if you get out Ron Smith

Great finds you've got there Ron. Looks like that spot could keep you busy for awhile.

I hope your son and his wife are getting along ok since their house fire.

You're right! Gotta have those pictures, CJ! And those are great!!! Thanks for taking the time to post 'em. Love those tokens! The marble is a beauty and neat that the play money has the date...I don't think I've seen one with the date on it.

Super hunting!!

That's a bunch of super finds, Ron! I would LOVE to detect some places that my family has lived but they've been bought and sold and now have "No Trespassing" signs up. Keep up the good work, hope there's many more days like that for you this summer.
