1832 provence of Nova Scotia token, 1830 U.S. half dime, and a no date half reale.

Also found this neat sterling pendant that reminds me of North West coast effigies. Any ideas on the pendant?

The pendant looks to be Indian, maybe Eskimo. WTG.
 
Nice finds,

That 1832 looks great. Looks like you got a nice site to hunt.

cool reale! i have one with a hole in it also, seems they wore them quite alot. their form of a bank account i guess :)
 
clothes had no pockets back then *-- money belts --change purses or pinning money to the inside of clothing all where common ways of carrying money thus the large amount of holed coins --esp the smaller amount common change type used on a daily basis by travellers. (half and reale coins)--to pay for a meal or room for the night --a half bought a meal or a bed -- a whole reale --both
 
No clue on the pendent, but what a great assortment of coins. Great job :thumbsup:
 
Great Trifecta there, that's a great hunt.
