On a whim I stopped at a house about a half mile from my home and knocked on the door. I was greeted by a very friendly 88-year-old woman who liked to talk. 
She told me the history of her property. There had been an old house on the corner that had been burned down then bulldozed. She encouraged me to detect as much as I wanted.
There weren't a ton of finds, I think the original soil had been disturbed quite a bit. Nevertheless, I came home with a few keepers.
There's nothing like seeing the worn rim of a silver quarter in the dirt.
This 1931 Canadian Cent has a small hole in it and appears to be plated. I suspect it was part of a bracelet or other jewelry.
I have found one of these 1934 Union Pacific tokens before.
Any ideas? Rubber tire 3" in diameter with a metal insert covered with glass. I'm not sure what would have been under the glass.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:
