Default Happy dance! Oldest coin to date!
Yay!! Went back to the site that I found the 1914 wheat. Dug 4 there and one is 1910! Woohoo! Still 10 years off the 1800 mark but its good. A great looking token. Been wanting one of these for a while. Its my first.
A brooch or charm of sorts was found in the same area as Dons pre 1900 IH along with 1 wheat. Bullets and a brass or copper case of some kind. Its odd sized and has the marking "U.S.C. CO. 3-09" on the base. Any ideas?

Happy hunting yall!

Nice diggin' Brian... looks like a lot of that stuff has taken a beating in the ground. But hey, you saved it all from further harm. WTG on that '10 Wheat!
