Hello all!

Yesterday we drove about 40 mins. to a old farm house that Sqrll (Earl) obtained permission to hunt. There was three of us hunting there and we were each able to pull a little silver. thumbsup01
A total of 5 silver coins and 21 wheats were found!!
I found 1 silver Rosie and a 5 wheats:

Along with a few other interesting items:

The one interresting item I found that I can't seem to figure out what it is ...is this medallion with a image of the Lucerne's Lion Monument on this side.

but on this side ......I can't figure out the connection? Anyone have any ideas?
I'm stumped.

You dug up some cool stuff, and the silver is sweet of course. thumbsup01 That is an interesting medallion. Perhaps Oscar Fresard Lucerne is a designer name? :confused:

Nice finds. I bet it was a blast getting together with the boys lol That name Oscar Fresard Lucerne, is a guy that either designs or made (or both) watches at around the turn of the century and later. I think he is from Switzerland. Here is an example of one of his watches

Maybe that was a token for his store?? Nice group of finds!

Very nice stuff Tim! The Oscar pendant is interesting -I googled it and found the watch links. Looks like George did good research already thumbsup01
