Long lost Easter surprise and a 126 year old fingerprint.

[relic lover]

I decided to go back to one of my favorite spots today a more-or-less hunted out Cellar hole and that you have to Wade across a stream to get to. In the remains of a collapsed Stone wall yards from the foundation I found an Indian Head Cent inside of a ceramic chickadee. I am assuming I found something a kid missed back in the late eighteen hundreds. This might be the record for the longest lost Easter hunt artifact LOL. The Indian head is severely corroded with a date of 1890. It was inside the remains of the chickadee. My favorite part is the visible Ridge detail of the fingerprint of the person who made the chickadee all those years ago. Anyway I thought it was super interesting hope you guys like it as much as I do. It may be in bad shape but it is definitely one of my favorite finds

Right now are reading the Little House On The Prairie series to my little girl each evening. The other night we read a chapter when the girls received a candy cane, tin cup, and each their very own penny as Christmas gifts. They were so excited and surprised to each have their very own penny!

If your penny was intended as an Easter treat over 120 years ago, it was certainly an important penny! Unfortunately the child didn't find it, but you did, and now it's your special penny. It finally made someone's day, only over a century late haha! Pretty cool find if you ask me.

Either one of those items would have been "keeper" finds...........to get them together with the obvious back story is outstanding!!

I will definitely be displaying them together. Even though the coin fills a hole in my book I am not going to put it in the book I think it should stay with its old friend mr. Chickadee
