Tried a local high school built in the 90's. Was looking for new drops and gold. Found plenty of clad as expected but the old copper was not expected at all. Great shape for around here. The St Christopher is sterling.

awesome finds!, just goes to show ya never know what that school was a few hundred years ago
I worked an old school built in 1914 and found 1810 half cent, 1722 French copper, 2 large cents,
so that obviously predated the school

very cool!

Is there anything engraves on the back of that St Christopher? I used to have one just like it.
