Rare Indiana token and other interesting finds at an 1840s home.

I found these items at an 1840s home I have the exclusive right to detect at. The suspender items were all in an area by a large tree. The buckles were found in different places on the property. The axe is a real cool find as I have not seen another one like it. Im thinking its from the late 1800s? Anyways thanks for looking. The horse token is my favorite find and from all I can gater off the net it is pretty scarce.

The token is about the size of a silver dollar.

Some nice finds and I agree that the horse token is very cool. It must be nice to have exclusive rights to a piece of property.

:congratsn all your keepers

The homeowner is a good friend of mine and I usually give her most of the cool finds to display at her home as it is on the National register of historic homes. I get to keep all the coins and tokens!

Great token. Interesting how they put a space between the "La" and the "Fayette". An old spelling or an artifact of the minting process? Dunno. Just curious from an old Boilermaker alum!
