2nd hunt at new site.

Garabaldi · May 5, 2010

Well figured I would try my new hunting site one more time, but nothing that old. Not sure what all these artifacts are. The button or religious medallion has a date of 1791 on it, but I don't think its that old. Seems like its plated. Found another badge, but not sure if its a kids item or the real "chicken inspector" deal. :dontknow:

May have to put some of these items on what is it. Thanks for looking.

Looks like a legit French sols plated and made into a button. Cool fiind either way.

If not an authenic coin it's a strange thing to me, having the mint mark and all.

I am so love love lovin' these badges you are discovering at your site! Maybe a bit worn, maybe not worth much but . . . I love 'em! :hello2:

I think you have found an interesting site with finds that hold quite a bit of a charater . . . hope you give it a go a few more times there :thumbsup:

I recall also reading something to the effect that "Chicken Inspector" was a playful term for a gentleman who enjoyed keeping his eyes on the ladies
