Below are some finds from last weekend.

I found 2 mystery items. The first is made of aluminum and says "Ballantine's Masters". I googled this and it appears to be some whisky. Perhaps this was an advertising piece. The second item is made of brass. I found it in a hole with a Chinese coin. At first glance, I thought it was a pocket knife but it is solid brass, heavy and old. Also found 4 Chinese coins from 1796 to 1920 and an 1877 Japanese 1 Sen copper coin. The last item is a copper washed 7.62 x 54 mm steel bullet casing. It is dated 1934. It is from a Russian Mosin Nagant rifle. These weapons were used by the North Koreans during the Korean War. So this is a North Korean relic from that era. I found the bullet casing in the same area where I found 1940s coke bottles. Although it is not gold or silver, I think it is cool relic.
