Shot Shells Wheats and Tokens

[cambria09]

Hello All. I found these items yesterday at two side by side small town 1920's homes. Got (97) clad coins...Uhg, digging clad can be real tiring, some 100-YR old shot shells, an old lead seal, (2) Wheaties, and (6) tokens.

I think the amusement tokens are c.1920's and the bank one is 19-teens.

Not a bad hunt but sadly no silver, maybe today.

Thanks for the view and good luck to everyone. C9

Nice finds. I found one of the OK vender tokens a couple of weeks back, at first I thought it was a washer till I cleaned it.

Its not my place to correct anybody and I apologize if I offended you, but those those things that you refer to as shotgun shells are what are called headstamps. Given that there appears to be no plastic attached and knowing a little about headstamps myself, these roughly date from the early 1900's and were more likely to be paper shells.

Hello MuckyBottles. No offense taken. I have found several hundred of these and they were definitely paper shells. The term "head stamp" can be used for several types of ammo. I used the term "shot shells" to distinguish them from rifle and handgun casing. Please see the link below and thanks for the reply. C9
