1897 Liberty Nickel,2 Indians,and what are these ?

[Roger Mn.]

I detected in the street gravel today and the coins are in bad shape.
Liberty Nickel 1897,Indian cent 1896, another Indian cent with a melted silver coin
on it. Eight wheat cents Not pictured.
A bird thing.
And this big coin shaped thing. I think it is made of pewter.
There are two people standing by what looks like a big shield.
There is a Angel flying above the man on the left.
This is the best I can do on the pictures right now.
There Is writing around the rim of this thing but I can't make it out
even with the 10 X lope.
Maybe someone has seen this and can tell us what it is.

Thankscurbdiggercarl57. There isn't any place for the air to escape from. I think I seen these once with a stick coming out the back.
There must be something missing on the end of the whistle ? It would be hard to put your lips on that.

Was there not an iron ball inside that whistle? Is it hollow?


I'm pretty sure Carl nailed that ID.



Good finds! The whistle is very cool.

The last picture looks like a pewter temperance medallion.

I know they issued many of them in the 1830s, and they usually look like your piece there.

Thanks plehbah. I'll try to look it up.

Nice digs R.D.
Wouldn't you like to know the paths traveled by the injun with the melted silver coin on it?

Are you sure that's melted silver on the indian head? I'm thinking it could be solder. It was soldered onto something as a patch. An old time mechanic I knew would use copper pennies to fix holes in exhaust systems, but this could have been used for anything.

I'm sure it was silver. I took a chisel to it and couldn't break it apart.
If it was solder I could have scraped it off.
