Searched my neighbors yard today. WOW!

Searched my neighbor's yard today. WOW!

I live in a rural area. The farm about 1 mile down the road has always looked good--just never stopped in. Their dog is named Bailey and she is missing her right front arm. Made a friend today!

I got to search for about 2 hours before it rained. Found only 1 silver dime, 1950. Pulled 8 wheaties but came up with three tokens that I can hang my hat on.

The first one is a commemorative 1905 token struck by the Vermont Machine Corp. honoring Lewis and Clark.

The second is a Pontiac Chief of the Sixes token from 1920

The last is either a coin or a token. Same size as a quarter, with ridges. It is dated 1860 and is copper with a steel center. I know i don't have pictures to show--any suggestions as to what this is

There was a dormitory for some farmhands that was torn down--needless to say i need to get back there ASAP. The rain today/tonight will help with the digging.

Coin Hound...Sounds like a good hunt. You really need to post pics for a good ID. I agree, you need to get back ASAP.

Working on the camera thing--that's my wife's area

Forgot to mention the 1941 nickle.

Why are my wheats showing 40-50 VDI?

Neat finds, can't wait to see the photos. I found a Pan American Cream Separator Token today dated 1901 from Bellows Falls Vt. Kinda neat token, see it in my post, Hunters Dream!!!

concerning the VDI's on the wheats......hmmm....I have no idea, I also have a DFX (is there really any other detector to own? ) and the wheats should be coming up high 60's through mid-70's......

Nice finds!

HH all!

The presidential election of 1860 produced a campaign souvenir which was a copper or brass medallion featuring a ferrotype in the center depicting the candidates.

A picture would really be most helpful. Here are a few versions:

That's exactly what I was thinking too. (Since I've found the Lincoln/Hamlin one--though the pictures were obviously long gone on it, most of the gilt was still there.)
