Finally managed to get out Saturday with Don and Noah when they made the drive up here to Wisconsin to do some door knocking. The town they picked has a lot of history back to the log cabin days.
Noah worked his magic and got us some great permissions including the historic Fargo mansion dating to the first half of the 1800s. According to the owner, it's been hunted once before in the 70 years he's lived there, but there was plenty left for us.
Here I picked up a couple nice crackerjack toys, an enameled pin, and a pewter whistle. The whistle it turns out is a very rare civil war signal whistle! It's missing the pea as is expected after being buried for probably 100 plus years, but still works. Tried it once I got home after cleaning the dirt inside, and its LOUD!
At another permission, I nabbed a great advertising token. It's in the shape of a circular saw blade and has full detail. I found a near identical one on the token database, but that one has writing on the back inside the wreath as seen on the pic I included.
I didnt do as well as the other guys in the coin department. An unreal 16 wheats, but only one IH, and a V nickel. I was skunked in the silver department. The other guys did much better with Noah hitting an awesome bucket lister that I'll let him post about. All in all a great day. One house that we started we were booted early because the owner was leaving, but I hope to get back to some day since it was really producing and had only really just begun. Cant wait to get out with these guys again!
