Very Cool Token - Time for Some Research!!

[Digger Don]

I dug this token this past weekend in Iowa. I've done a little research and so far I found out that Bernhard M. Jacobsen was born in 1862 and died in 1936 ( one year after his golden anniversary). He was a congressman from Iowa during the depression.
I also found an article referring to his wife, Lena Trager Jacabsen.
I'm hoping to track down the family. Wish me Luck!!
It's SO cool digging finds like this!!

Very cool find Don! Love to see the look on the families faces if you do a return.

Hope you find the family! That would be really cool.

Don, It's a great find and a great treasure hunt to find a family member. I would also research the past owners of the house it was found at to see if any relatives lived there. You might be able to figure out exactly who dropped it! Well done sir!

Hope you find the family. I can imagine the look on their faces having this item returned to them.
