I hunted a large construction site today where they tore down several old houses. I found several items laying right on top of the ground. There was broken bottles, glass and pottery scattered everywhere. Today I found two wheat pennies, two military style buckles, one small brass buckle, another buckle with an unusual design on it, compact, large copper cap, top of a pocket watch, a 1946 Knoxille Transit token and several buttons. Probaby my best find was something I thought was modern until I got home and cleaned it up and researched it. It is a coin rolled token from the 1901 Pan American Exposition. The front reads CHAS. F. DAMM COIN ROLLING MACHINES 511 WASHINGTON ST BUFFALO NY and the back reads a I WAS AT THE PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION ON PRESIDENTS DAY SEPT. 5, 1901. I also found an ink well and several other pieces.

Yes they usually were pennies but they used other stuff as well. I don't think it is silver but it sure does look like it is.
 

Nice Digs Randy! That rolled Coin Token is very Cool!
 

Those are some neat finds.
Congrats

It's brass Quindy and I don't know what it is. Yeah there were no ticks but I think I would rather find relics and pull ticks. I think I have the relic hunting bug too bad. lol
 

Nice bunch of Finds ! Always nice when somebody does the digging for you, :icon_thumright: .
