Hello everyone. Hope your Summer is bringing you tons of hunting time and finds as well as fun. I acquired a new site yesterday which I have driven by too many time and didn't even realize an old home sat here. My father drove by while I was hunting and we started talking about the town he grew up in in the 30's. The house was tore down in the 60's and it was a large brick home built in the 1800's. However no pre-1900 hundred coins have been found yet.
My hunting partner Randy and Ron were invited as well as we were hunting down along the sidewalk of this old town. The church next door owns the land as a picnic ground. Within an hour we had tracked down a member of the board who gave us the green light to hunt. But he said it would be nice if we donated our finds to the church, lol
The area has not been disturbed too much. We focused our attention to the surrounding , sloping hillside away from the home. I knew on top had been excavated and I didn't want to find a bunch of iron debris.
The front steps are still there which is a dead give away there was an old home there.
The area is about an acre so I will be comming back here for a while. I found all of the coins in a small area which I'm sure was used by people comming and going from the house to uptown stores.
Anyways, here are todays finds:
1927 SLQ. My second this year. A beauty with a nice date too
A 1 dollar coin which I have never seen before. Thought it was a gold coin
A medallion or token which reads on the front. Columbus. On the back. Machinery hall
A nice guilded button which reads:
?inson Extra Rich
A lead seal with some numbers on it? ID help
A Railroad tag on some kind. ID help please. Atchison, Topeka, and Sante Fe RR. Just found it on the internet.. Why in Ohio??
A 380 shell Remington UMC CarhI know Remington UMC is fairly old
A button thingy with a dragon on it??
2 1909 wheats found fairly close. No VDB or S
1 1916D and a 1917 S
Thanks for looking and any help will be appreciated. Ron

Nice finds!
Congrats on that beauty of an SLQ. That is one of those new presidential dollar coins you found.
