New Site Old Suff

[cambria09]

Hello All. I have been eye-balling this site for a while and finally got the go-ahead yesterday. It is an old farm house near a RR station active into the 1940's. Dug it with my fellow digger extraordinaire, Btoots who scored (3) IHC's (96,98,05), some nice tokens, and various other keepers.

I ended up with a variety of items including:
Parts of a starter pistol
Bleach bottles
McCormick embossed bottle
Misc hardware
Cool bale seal
Auto parts
Ammo
Wheaties (50's, 40's, 1937,1930,1918D)
Antique lock
Silver plate
Cosmetics
Tokens

Took me a while to figure out the last token shown but it is: "J. D. DONOHOO / RAILROAD AND CROSS-TIE CONTRACTOR / NOT TRANSFERABLE." See link below for a better looking one of lesser face value.

J.D. DONOHOO / RAILROAD / AND / CROSS TIE / CONTRACTOR / NOT / TRANSFERABLE (TC-412541) Jacksonville, Florida (Duval County), U.S.A.

I cannot find much re J.D Donohoo but I am thinking this token was company scrip.

Probably still lots more to dig there...some of its gotta be silver...or gold...thanks for the view and Good Luck. C9

It appears that you two are the 1st ones to swing a coil over that property. Congrats on all your finds. I bet there's more there.
