alexwilliams91 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Hi All, I got hooked into detecting over the last year, spurred on by scoring a Garrett Ace 200 for $25 at Goodwill! I have only detected around my house so far, which as it is an old farmhouse dating back to the 1730s has been plenty!!! Graduated up to a Nokta Legend this spring after I found, and tired of, that the Ace 200 was exceptionally good at finding old hand forged nails. Top scores so far include a silver thimble, a fat 1860 Indian Head cent, an 1896 Indian Head cent, a bunch of wheaties, and just this week a 1927 Mercury dime, my first silver coin! Also found a large copper dandy button, and a copper tag with "Bay State House 29" on it, as well as a door key that fits the old lock of one of the exterior doors! The Bay State tag is definitely old and is somewhat pitted. If anyone has any thoughts on what it is from, let me know! Very much learning the Nokta still, figuring it out and spending way too much time doing so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ID Danny Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Don't have any idea about the tag but I sure like finding those type of things. One of my favorites is a token from a local mercantile from 1913. It is a $1.00 token. Isn't this sport fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger-NH Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Welcome. It might be a room key or baggage tag from the Bay State House Hotel, Worcester Mass. https://www.ebay.com/itm/160646045224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
