Noah and I went out today and braved the heat. It took a little time to find a couple of houses, we only looked for shaded lawns with no sun.The first house we hunted I pulled out a greenish disc, I thought it was token at first, but after a little cleaning and a quick visit to Google, I found that it was a 1771 1 skilling from Denmark. The non dated side has a mirrored C7 which was the monogram of Christian VII. Not bad for Illinois!!!
The second housed produced a 53-D Rosie, a 42-D merc and a very nice 1887 seated dime ( trifecta baby)!!
I also dug a "good for 5 cents" token.
