I've just looked up pengo on wikipedia and
an old currancy of Hungary.
The other stuff looks pretty interesting too, especially the watch,
18ct gold $$$?
You've got a lot exiting research ahead.
good luck
thanks for sharing.
Dave.

I'd consider them awesome finds. And no digging required.

You might have a WHOLE happy meal there. :D

Neat finds. Now, get back with Grandpa and have him tell you about why he kept these things.

Boy, do I regret not having done more of that now. :(

my grandpa used to work for the street dept. in lorain ohio. he had several large coffee cans filled with coins he picked up while he was working. I wonder if anyone ever went through them to see if any were worth something.
