Found not one coin! Here are my finds... I think the tiny item next to reference coin is a very small bullet? Has I believe two rings
Around base. Drawer pull, two belt buckles and weird badge?? Any clue on any items? The bullet was over 8 inches down!!

You're quite welcome. When I first encountered pics of them being found I presumed given the shape and size that they were CW-era martingales, though somewhat strange given the variety of lettering styles and individual letters. CBG and I think one other poster jumped in and cleared up the air about them.
so I most likely will never know what the 'P' is for Plymouth car? Last name starting with a p who knows..

Well, you could do some research on the property, see if anyone who owned or lived there might have had a last name beginning with "P". Even that wouldn't be definitive, but it would be my first move if I was trying to ID the owner of the vehicle that plate came off of.

this is true. I looked at tax records and the current owners last name is da silva... But the house has been abandoned for many years. No info on past owners.
