I have been wanting to hunt this yard for a couple of years now, but have never found the owner home. So today I drove by and his car was there. Talked with him for a little and he told me and my hunting partner to have at it. My partner found a Rosie, a Merc. and about 7 or 8 wheat's. I found this Indian, the quarter, pocket watch and this good for token. It says H.T. Steepleton. This is the second one of these good for tokens we have found. So if anyone has any info. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

There was an H.T. Steepleton that got married in Warren Co. Illinois in 1908.

Cool finds BTW!
 

can you see the serial number on the watch??? if so usually you can track the watch to when it was made. i found a watch ahile back with the numbers. it dated to the 1930's. let me know please, now im curious

got to love it when they say yes.. did you share any finds with the owner?

Yep, gave him a couple of wheats. I usually carry a couple extra wheats when I hunt a private yard.
