Wow, that is awesome CAROLYNVOILES, This is a part of history, makes me wonder who pin it was and did they live here in Virginia or just passing through? Thank you so much for telling me this, it is amazing! If no one bids on it, then it will be just fine for it to hang around. Thanks again, you are so knowledgeable, and I love the way you have helped me put more information into my auctions!

You are very welcome you could always research who owned your home during that time. A lot of family buried their loved ones things if they passed as respect to them. Hope that helps and yes very cool to keep around :)

Thank you, I didn't know that families buried their love ones things in the ground, I guess I always thought they would keep them.
