Hunting my grandparents house built 230+ years ago.

Here are couple details about the property

1 very large tree + a bunch of smaller ones
A well
Dining room was originally a general store
clothes line
dirt floor cellar
large field which used to have a road running down the middle
Multiple large trees in the field

Currently using the bounter hunter gold digger as my first metal detector. Nothing of value yet, but here are some things that i found interesting, or wasn't sure what they were. Hopefully someone can help me out

Not sure what the 2nd or 3rd things are, I don't think they're valuable but i'm curious of what they are lol. the 4th thing looks like it was a plate, or some kind of ceramic object that I probably destroyed with my shovel lol. No clue what that could have been though. The last 2 are junk but I got a kick out of them

2nd and 3rd pick look like an old hair broche, the bottom left is a deralier from a multi-speed bicycle....The first is a token of some sort, not sure what it's for.
Looks and sounds like you have a pretty good place to start. You should be able to clean up. Good Luck...HH

The fourth pic looks like an old time canning jar lid with the white glass insert...

Boy, that place sounds like theres gotta be some decent old coins around! Great finds!

I really like finding tokens as they are often "rarer" items than coins that were minted in the millions and distributed across the nation... i wonder if that token you found was from the store itself? Does the other side of it list a business?

Can't wait to see what comes out of that old yard next!

Picture #2 appears to be a barrette - used in women's hair.

The token is referred to as a "good for" token, being 5 cents it is probably from sometime around 1900. They were typically issued by saloons and stores.
You can see thousands of them here:

What is on the reverse?
