This morning Digger Al and I set out to one of our favorite towns for some door-knocking. The morning started out good, 15 minutes into the first yard, I dug a 1911 Barber Dime. We didn't find much after that so after about an hour we decided to move on. The second house was next door to a house we hunted with Tony Two-Cent last month. Alec dug a 1923 Buffalo about 8 feet from where Tony found a seated dime last month. He also dug a "Vote for LOUIS L. EMMERSON for Secretary Of State" token. Alec Googled it and found that he was elected for Secretary of State in 1916, and later became the governor of the state of Illinois. I found about half a dozen wheats. The last house we hunted I dug a 1923 Merc, A 1936 Bureau County dog dag, a bell shaped tag that reads "Bell's Pine Tar Honey - Cures Coughs". Alec dug an 1850 Merchant Token that on the Obverse it reads: "Watches - Clocks - Jewelry - & Fancy Goods" On the top of the reverse above the eagle it reads: "A.B. VAN COTT" and on the bottom of the reverse BELOW the eagle it reads: "Racine-Wisconsin". After some research Alec learned that this is a rarer version of this token. The more common version actually read "Racim-Wisconsin" Obviously Racim is an error. Together we dug a total of 17 wheats.
