I got the O.K. to hunt the yard of an old house in town. It was purchased by a kid that was a boyscout when i was a scout leader. His family owns the funeral home in town. And he is now a funeral director. The house is only two houses down from his parents house. His father was the scoutmaster for part of the time i was in. He's a good friend too!
Well, the first day i did the front and side yards and got $1.04 ( the only quarter and one dime were from the curb strip) :shocked04: Seven wheat pennies none older than 1944.
Today i hit the larger back yard area. Total for today 20 cents. One dime and ten pennies of which 2 are 40's-50's wheats.
No silver coins at all! My best finds were an old navy button which reads Canal De Vieux that i think is silver plated.
And my first swastika token. A Worchester salt co. token/good luck piece.

Here's pics of the token

Im impressed. Too bad the nazis ruined that symbol for the world. It supposedly comes from outer space.

The token is a very nice find RaZR. :clapping: I love the obverse. :smitten:

I dug this one up a while back with a similar but slightly different reverse design.
