Lonely Indian and a neat find!.......

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Went to the house across the road from the old stone porch house where I got the 1868 Indian yesterday. All I could manage was a broken spoon and this lonely 1888 Indian head.
I went back across the road to the stone porch house and got a couple doo-dads, and a very cool find in my book! I got this old brass Election seal. this things is 1 1/4" by nearly a 1/2' thick! I like it because it has the name of the town I was diggin in. Leonidas, which is the first town south of the one I live in.
I believe it is late 1800's - early 1900's, but will let you know what I find out.

Hey Mike, that election seal is a great find. Do you know exactly how it was used?

a hand press. You put a piece of paper in and pressed down and it made an embossed seal on the paper!
