Went two for two on door knocks this afternoon with JD. First knock was a 30s home on corner lot. We had high hopes, but discovered a lot of dirt work.
I did pick up 4 wheats, the Chinese Cash Coin and my random 3 ringer. The town did have some civil war activity, but surprised me in a 30s yard.
I also picked up a brass item that I wasn't quite sure what it was. Turned out to be a vintage Handsaw Medallion...says Phenix Trade Mark Warranted.
Next we found a 1928 brick home on a small corner lot and got the go ahead. 3 minutes in 5 feet from the truck I got a silver Dime tone and popped a 1943 Merc, silver 35 FTY. After a couple hours I had picked up 13 wheats dating back to 1919, but no more silver. I also picked up what I think is a Japanese coin.
I did pick up another amazing Token. It is Scrip from The Consolidation Coal Company for use in their company stores and used to pay employees. First one I have found and research tells me it is highly collectible. Have to finish my research, but a great find.
JD picked up a Merc and about a dozen wheats. Soil was great for digging and weather was perfect.
Any one with info on the Cash Coin and Japanese coin please let me know. Thanks.
