    Another Trip to Wisconsin! Farm House Door Knocking

    We went up to Wisconsin to hit a few farm houses. I think my coolest find was a 1904 Worlds Fair token that was 10 inches down at an 1861 school house!

    Nice job Don! Good to see you added some more silver to the pouch, but the 2 tags and the token are my favorites from this hunt. They'll make a nice addition to any display.
