finds from in-laws yard

[sgtbubba]

I have been hunting my in-laws yard for about four months now, an hour or so at a time about once a week. The property was part of a plantation in the 1700's to late 1800's. Their home is around 100 years old.Here are some of the finds. The SL half was my first coin. All the silver was found in an area about ten square feet. My oldest coin from the property is the 1865 IH in the picture. Total coin finds are the half, 23 quarters, 25 dimes, 8 nickles, and 100 pennies. 38 of the pennies are wheats the oldest being a 1917. Other finds include a MIT medallion, A Warren G. Harding commemorative coin, a federal tires token, an aluminum good luck charm, a zippo lighter and what I think is a brass inlay that has Chinese writing on it.
