A few odd finds from a local cellar

[prolab69]

Went to one of my new local spots today for 3hrs, found a nice 1831 large cent, a nice brass buckle and an odd metal container with the inscription "metropolitan accident assn." -chicago- when i openned it, it had some kind of black carbon mixed with fibers in it

tried to google it but didnt find much. also found this badge a few days ago that says " US WAR SAVINGS SERVICE- MEDAL OF HONOR" ..

..needless to say, didnt find much on google for that one either. .. did find a nice largie tho

Pro-

Nice prolab like the badge large cents are always nice

its a huge site, it must have had about 5 structures there, today i found where the barn was, behind the barn is about 50 apple trees. I think once the spring season rolls around i can detect more freely without all the shrubs, but i still have about 40 apple trees to search around. Its off a road that suposedly had some of the earliest settlements of the county.

I have no idea, is that something you would put a cigar in?

Nice finds, I like that LC.

Is that a Los Banos CZ-3D?

The small box is interesting. Maybe a small thing of shoe polish or something like that. The company logo could be from an insurance company that gave them out to agents to give to clients. That all is just total SWAG though... (Scientific Wild-A**ed Guess)

That's what I was thinking. (Shoe Polish)

Oh, by the way, Cool Finds!

Ok, shoe polish makes scents, it was a black cruddy substance i cleaned out of it, thanks a bunch guys. ... next time i hit that site will be with my shooter coil, i was getting so many "high-coin" signals mixed in with the iron but couldnt lock on to any of them with my 10.5 coil, a month or so ago i found a WWII button there. thats quite a span of years from 1831 LC to a WWII button.
