So i took a break from school today and decided to check out the old mini barn shed that dates to the 20s on my parents property i found alot of really old copper shotgun shell caps mostly REM-UMC sureshot and Western Xpert brand also found a strange token or coin from japan it has a dragon on one side of the coin, also found a buckle and a strange star pattern piece of copper probabley a slug from one of those shells. 2014-01-27 14.21.09.jpg 2014-01-27 14.24.26.jpg 2014-01-27 14.26.13.jpg 2014-01-27 14.26.33.jpg 2014-01-27 14.26.57.jpg 2014-01-27 14.27.20.jpg

I can't see well enough in the photo to know for certain, but both Japan and China had coins with triangular holes in the center. Interesting finds regardless.

Found one myself a while back, think it was confirmed to be from from the St. Louis Worlds fair.
