    Saved by the last house.

    Really didn’t find much but about 12 wheat pennies
    But the last house in the midst of dog do do, I got a skeleton key, a war nickel. Token for Howard Thurston, a magician mor famous than Houdini is my favorite!

    The token is super unique, but skeleton keys are sooo rare, and yours is in good shape.
