Found an interesting advertising token at an old farm

[Full Metal Digger]

Hey diggers,

I got the go-ahead to MD at an old farm house that dates to the 1870s. No one lives there anymore so the grass was a bit thick. A little bit of extra work but I managed to get my coil down in a lot of areas.

First good signal was a 1902 indian head penny at 2 inches. Rang up as 08-35 on my e-trac (classic IH signal around here). I also found 4 wheaties with dates ranging from 1914 to 1946.

Around the front of the house I got a 12-44 at the surface. Sounded EXACTLY like a memorial penny laying on top of the ground. I couldn't see a coin so I stuck my pinpointer on the spot and it started chirping and vibrating like crazy. I was tempted to pass it by but decided to dig it anyway since I wasn't getting a lot of signals. Imagine my surprise when I popped out a 1907 Barber dime at 1/4 inch deep! I can't believe I didn't scratch it since I was being so careless! It looks like it was an early drop too. I can see a full LIBERTY on the crown.

About 10 feet later I got a nice penny signal about 6 inches down. I was thinking it might be a wheat penny but instead popped out a token. Turns out it is an advertising token (not sure of the age) for Sunrise Meats. It has a really neat Heads/Tails piggy logo on it.

I also found a WW1ish Enlisted Collar Brass.

Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.
