Today’s hunt at an older home yielded me silvers 50 and 51 fty , a 1901 V nickel, a buckle and 14 wheat pennies. The best find of the day to me was the 1920’s Oakland Automobile radiator emblem. I never even heard of them before but from what i read, Oakland turned into Pontiac when GM bought them.

Thanks for sharing!
 

Back in the day there were lots of automobile makers. So your Oakland badge is pretty rare compared to those beautiful coins you found.
 

Thanks everyone. The Oakland badge is going to look right at home in the display case.
