1893 World's Fair Bank
I'm new to this forum stuff, but I made a find today that I want to share with the treasure hunting community. It is a small bank (L=6" x W=2.5" x H=6") and the front reads "WORLD'S FAIR ADM. BLDG 1893". The dome is cracked, but I still think it’s cool. I am sorry for the poor quality pictures. The words and details on this item are more pronounced in person.
This find was made while detecting overgrown old building foundations in my hometown. It is very hard trying to pinpoint anything in these areas. Until today, my tendency has been to avoid high trash areas like these. After seeing what other folks were finding, and gathering a few tips on hunting these areas, I was ready to try again. Thanks to everyone here for providing inspiration and sharing your tips. I made a neat find today because of you!
