Farm House Finds - Two 1903 St. Louis World's Fair Tokens

I recently got a new permission at a vacant farm house. The yard is nicely mowed so the detecting is easy. I'm not sure how old the house is but it is in the 1939 aerial photos. I'd guess that the house might be from the 1920s.

The highlight of my hunt was two different tokens from the 1903/1904 St. Louis World's Fair. They were both screaming signals about 6" deep.

The watch fob says Indiana State Seal.

I was hoping for some older coins but I will definitely take the ones I found.

It was a fun hunt, even if the heat did get to me. Attachment 71084

Multiple silvers in a yard is a great yard! Cool tokens too.

I just realized when updating my signature just now that the 1924 Mercury Dime was lifetime Merc #400 for me. That's a lot of dime digging. :lol:

It may not be a very old yard, but it surely got you some interesting and notable finds. Congrats!

That's a great hunt!

Wow! Not 1 but 2 World's Fair tokens!!!:shocked04:
I would've been happy just finding those!!
Sweet hunt Tony!!
Congrats!:thumbsup02:

I have a permission like that. I've had it for over 10 years. I still visit it once a year. If I find something...it old!!!
I'm sure you'll be returning!:lol:

Nice recoveries. I don't hunt to many but I like old farm houses for finding older tokens. I think the kids got them to use as play money as I usually find a higher than normal amount of them there. WD

Nice finds and I love digging at abandoned houses because I don't worry about the lawn as much. Is that part of a pencil sharpener? That 1917 wheat cent still has the brown color too!

Great hunt Tony! Congratulations on the finds!!!! It sure has been hot this year. I only last about 90 minutes once the sun gets up in the sky.

Great hunt Tony. Gotta love digging those world fair tokens.
:congrats:

Looks like a nice haul. Watch fobs are a mystery to me as I have only found 1 I believe. I would have thought that would be a pretty easy find but apparently I am not correct on that idea, Great finds and hope the pspot holds up for a few more good hunts. Congrats. WD
