Thanks peeps-worked hard for those "bootties":D --so i just did a little more research on the area i have been hunting---and it turns out the name of the family who live there was Laschampe--I wonder if they moved here from Canada(def french)--since its the 3rd canadian coin ive found from the homestead area??
 
good luck token

Congrats on the silver. But thoses old good luck pieces are really neat. On the back side should be the maker and pat date of 1923 by Geo. W. Heene. You pulled the handle and stamped out your name or wht you want to print out on the token.
 
:D:Dpreciate the ecouragements--looking forward to all youZZ guys upcoming finds!!too!
BTW-I think its one of the coolest aspects of MDing--finding If & why those objects were there!!other than just a old drop-
