Pulling up big silver at the old farm today

[BomberJohn]

Well, it was a beautiful day today here. Must have been around 70. Spent the entire day back at my farm. Got a lovely sunburn on the back of my neck and around the headphone on my right ear. (I only use one ear piece while I detect) Well, to make a long story short I pulled out a bunch of goodies today; the best being a 1878 Morgan Dollar (Philadelphia-8 tail feathers) in excellent condition, but stained. She's a heavy one.
Also, found a 1941 Mercury Dime, a 1911 (worn) V Nickel, a 1907 Indian Head penny, another flat button, a token (Starch Co.?), couple tack buckles, a colonial clay pipe piece (notice the "1" on the side and a backwards "21" on the little nipple piece), and a few other brass thingies.

Thanks for looking. HH

Nice finds. What are all of those little things (bluish) . Did they come from the tin??

Thanks. The blue things are small glass beads. When I opened the compact, they were inside (See post #3).

Those morgans can sure fool a detectorist. They sound like an aluminum can. Nice job on the big silver!

The ACE 250 said $1 repeatably and it was dead on this time. The first time I ever saw that! Love the Morgans!

The before mentioned token I found has been identified as being from The Celluloid Starch Co. Here is what mine looks like after cleaning:

THIS is what it used to look like:

Believe it from around 1900. If anyone has a better date, would love to know.
Thanks! HH!
