A friend directed me to a "way back in the hills" site where he had dug bottles as a youngster. No real evidence of structures left, but found the old diggins. Dug a few rusty cans and nails so went to disc. and almost passed by this find because it "popped" like old rust. but easy shovel digging here so turned up this. The can is a cigarett box from late 30's early 40's and contained the following coins which I thought were much greater before soaking and toothbrushing.
3 Washington state sales tax tokens - one is dated 1935
1 U.S.A Filipinas one centavo coin 1944. The United States Of America side gives you a start when it appears through the dirt.
1 U.S.A. Filipinas One centavo coin 1926. Needs more soaking.
1 1940 Deuitehes{unsure} Reich with eagle and swastika, other side vague with what looks like a large
Numeral 1. It's a little smaller than a dime.
1 Buffalo Nickle..date gone as usual.
My guess is it was a childs stash of coins etc. Some that were brought back by a WW2 soldier. Other scenarios welcome.
