New spot - 1905 house - Decent start

[ModernMiner]

When I returned from vacation, I had an e-mail from a property owner who's 1905 house I've been wanting to gain permission to detect for some time now. Well, persistence paid off and I'm in. The house sits on about 3 acres.
I made my maiden voyage Tuesday after work in between rain showers and was pleased with my 2 hr hunt. I believe this place has NOT been detected yet as the coins I found date back as old as the house. The owner confirmed that, and the house has been in his family since it was built. A wealthy family I may ad.
The mosquitoes were out in full force, but I bathed in deet spray and was fine.
The finds worth noting are:

*IH's - 1906, 1907 , 1907.
*Wheats- 1910, 16, 17, 18, 53. (I found "0" memorial pennies so far! )
*A "Lone Scout - First Degree" Boy Scout pin. (circa 1915-1920)
*A watch FOB with the letters "BCA" or "CBA" on it. Any ideas on this one? I posted it in the "What is it" section yesterday, but still no answer.

I found other relics too, including a lock, cosmetic compacts, etc. but I haven't had time to clean them yet.

Off to a good start at least.
It's going to be 100 degrees & humid here this weekend, so I will not be hitting it again until next week.
Over and out,
MM

Hey, MM. Has anyone actually believed that's a picture of your hunt site? I'd just like to know who to stay away from.

Only TC above, and I'm hoping he was kidding.

That FOB seems to be a bit of a mystery.

Looks very promising MM!! Nice digs there. I found a small pin very much like the "Lone Scout" pin at a U.S. CW Cavalry Camp but the one I found also had a lance and "Pathfinder" embossed on it. Since WW2 manuevers were there also, I figured it was a recon pin but never found out for sure. WTG and stay cool!!

Thanks Merf.
I hope I can find some silver at this place. They won't be into the 1800's, but early 1900's would be just fine.

A Barber quarter or large silver would make my day Ty.
I have found none of those yet in my detecting "career".
Have a great week and lift those columns buddy!
