Old house gives it up

[sscindercoop]

Got permission to hunt a house that was part of the underground railroad. I did a morning hunt and got the stuff in the first pic second pic finds from afternoon hunt. I still have a lot of ground to cover because I go very slow. First signal was a medallion from 1851 from a piano shop in Rochester NY. Got some clad after that and then got a deep signal in the corner of the front yard dug down and got a 1901&1896 V Nickel. Some more clad and other stuff and then on the side of the house I hit the silver thimble and the two buttons. I came back a few hours later to hit the back and got the 1898 Barber Dime the second 1898 this month. The one tag in the picture says one dollar reward for return of key or drop in any mail box. On the back it says will identify by number 3490 Albany NY. I got permission to hunt a few more spots so hopefully I will have some more stuff to show soon. Thanks for looking and HH.

If I've learned anything about OLD homes, it's that they always
have more to give!!!

Nice start to your new hunting grounds. Congrats!

I believe that your medallion is actually a early trade token. And I also believe, nay know, that you had one great day of hunting. Go back! Find more!

Looks like you are going to have a great time detecting those places....Matt

I may be wrong, but the S & V looking button may be a Son of Union Veterans button. I found a VERY SIMILAR button about a year ago and someone identified it very correctly here. nice
