Two Silver weekend plus some neat and odd stuff.

[Old coin hunter]

Got permission to detect a lawn that was about 35x40 at an older house and found the following: 26 coins with there being 7 qtrs, with one being a 62 Washington, 1 dime, 11 coppers and 7 zincs. Also a Sterling silver ladies belt end, mans cowboy belt buckle not Silver, large skeleton key, pen top, two small buckles, two small rivets, with one being a Levi, consumer tax token from Oklahoma and a good luck thingy, maybe for wedding or ? which is a little bigger than a half dollar. Thought i might find more silver but i'm happy with my finds and am going back to detect by a very small old house that the couple lived in when they were first married and they are now 81 years old. Don't think i'll find many coins as they had five kids and said money was tight and they probably didn't drop many. HH Jim.

Those good luck tokens-- i have a couple from the St. Louis fair a century ago. I think you bought the token and then it was personalized.

There was a machine with a keyboard to input however many characters it would except. Then it would stamp the token and spit it out. Nobody mentioned the fancy silver scabbard tip. That's cool too

Howdy Old Coin Hunter-- Nice group of finds! Have a positive attitude about hunting that old house. In my experience, sights where I was told that I wouldn't find much have turned out to be some of the most productive sights. Best of luck and...
Happy Hunting!
