OLD LEATHER COIN PURSE WITH 5 LARGE SILV.and 5 SMALL SILV. pos. best find in 43 years

[history hunter]

I went to a fresh house tear down this morning and it was going kind of slow until my last reading. It was kind of a iffy signal back and forth between 28.00 and 29.00. I dug down about 10" or so and the first thing I saw in the dirt outside the hole, was a quarter size silver disc, that upon closer examination turned out to be a barber! I said yes but then started to see and pick silver dimes out of the dirt, then more silver quarters,"barbers and a standing liberty! Pushing the dirt around, I saw a half size disk and picked it up and saw it was two halves (barber), stuck together! Then found a barber dime and two buffalos in the dirt. I checked the hole really thoroughly after that and also found pieces of leather with coin impressions in them. I figured it was lost about 1928, since the 1928 merc is like new and that was the newest coin in the purse. The old truck was found about 10 feet away at 15" and says "goodee and brunswick NJ. inside it. Finally found an old coin purse with old silver!!!
The contents of the coin purse were as follows:

Barber halves 2 ea. 1898 and 1905 S
Barber quarters 2 ea. 1895 and 1900
Standing liberty 1 ea. ? S
Barber dime 1 ea. 1916 S
merc dimes 4ea. 1917, 1918, 1926 and 1928 D
buffalo nickels 2 ea. 192? and ?

Nice find.

I would be curious to find out who lived in the house then (1928).

The baseball token looks much more recent as the batter has a modern batter's helmet on.
