The thin token with "N.W" is probably a pickers check. N.W was probably the initials of the farm or farmers. People collect and research them in some areas, and you might be able to figure out who N.W. was with old maps or land records. Nice finds, and I suspect you will continue to find more there. HH

Oh it can get worse, lol. I spent a couple hours this morning in the rain in a cornfield with 10-12 in stalks just to find these:


It was worth it though cause I really like finding old musket balls. I think this was only my 6th this year. My coil is a little sensitive so bumping the stalks makes it false a bit.
