Old Homestead found

[Jerkie]

Today I went to one of my local fav. Parks. Use to be farmland turned into the first municipal airport in our area. Govt. then bought it and made it one of there training grounds pre WWII. I have been hitting this one area hard. It's where I found my first walking liberty. In that area I have been digging up alot of trash but household items and trash that a Homesite would have. Anyways this is some of the items that have stirred up my curiosity. Is that a washer are possible buckle?? Those halfmoon pipe items are solid copper. The rest are a bunch of food cans,pull tabs. Think I will be hitting this area more in the future.

Congrats on the Token.
The trash may be from a dump site.
I think your buckle looks like a Ladies Sash Buckle from the 60's or 70's.
Congratulations

Yes, what can you read other than "Texas" on that side of the token?

J.S. Hutchings was,at one time, the railroad agent for the Dew Bros. Perhaps he rose up the ranks to become a partner in the store.
