Got out to hunt a 1898 home in hopes of pulling some oldies from the turf and was not let down ;D
Don and I hunted this property over two days and pulled out over 20 wheats, a 1905 Barber Dime, a 1907 Injun, a couple of tokens and a couple of things we just don't know about. ???

The cool one of the day was when I got a signal strong enough to dig, that ended up being a piece of aluminum siding, but in the same hole about 5 inches down was this nice White Arrowhead. That was the first one I have found since metal detecting.

The tokens or medals were pretty cool stuff too. The first one Don dug was the 100 year anniversary token from Studebaker. Dated 1852-1952. Then I dug the South Bend Business College token good for $5.00 off of a class. Not sure exactly when that school was around. I can't find any info on that one. So please chime in if you all have any ideas. I will post it on the What's it column along with several other things in the photo's. One of which is the thing that looks like a topper for a bottle or something. The thing with the crown on top. The other being the brass object with the lady that looks kind of ornate. That was dug at about 5 inches as were most things in this yard. Maybe for a mail box or something like that. ??? How old are those Arrowheads anyway???? All in all we did fairly decent here and hope to get back soon. Has anyone heard of a 1920 Wheat Cent having a mistrike on the 9. I have one, which I will try to post a better picture of that was part of the pile that we found at this yard. Just curious.

Goodluck out there everyone and be safe. JGAS

Great assortment, I will check back and see if anyone found out anything on the business college token, sounds like it could be an old and rare token to me. :dontknow: :icon_thumright:
