Found this Unique 1903 Indian head cut coin that has a ring edge. I have seen coins made into rings and I have seen cut coins I've not seen both in one coin. Obviously it's not a ring but it has been hammered to make the outside edge of the coin wider.

There was also a small solder Mark on the top where I suppose a loop was attached to the coin to be worn as a necklace.
I cleaned the crud off the coin but left a nice green patina. The coin was found in an area I have found many old coins and other relics, the area dates back to the 1600s so anything is liable to turn up unfortunately there is a lot of garbage that's been dumped over the years in the area.

The crotal Bell bell was found at another Location, I'm not sure on how old it is judging since the top Suspension loop is missing.. Still this is my first crotal bell so I am happy for that.
