One room school house site gives up a couple goodies

[Fire Fighter 43]

I hunted the site of a one room school house on Monday and came up with a few keepers. The school was torn down in the late 1940's and is now now a farm field. I found the site on a map from 1897 and I suspect it was built in the 1880's. The dime almost gave me a heart attack when I first saw the date of 1916 and I could see a mint mark but I could not read it until I went to the car to get my magnifier. I also found a 1888 Indian and 3 wheat's. There were a few surface finds also, a nice old ceramic marble and a few none metallic buttons. The coolest find was a token that is dated 1863 and it is for a meat market. You can see the token and the marble on the video.

I absolutely love 1RSH sites, a lot of people try to tell you that you will not find any coins at them, that is rubbish. If you see one that is still standing, the finds will be pretty slim because it has been hunted plenty, I promise you. But you found one by research that very few people know about, those are the ones that give up the goods as you found out! Good finds, and good research
