Signing Papers on 1945 house next week - so I hit the yard!

partenr · Apr 20, 2011

Buying a 1945 Farm/Craftsman house - and pretty sure the yard has never been touched! :headbang:

The yards are LOADED with targets.

Here are today's finds - about 2.5 hours worth including:
1945 Penny
1961 & 1950 Canadian Penny
About $1.15 total in change
AND one strange ... what appears to be a pendant that has "2 1/2" on it. Each side is nearly identical, any ideas what it might be?

Pendant is interesting and very cool.

Place the pendant pics on the what is it forum.
Looks like thsat yard will produce some nice
older relics and hopefully coins to.

your "pendent" looks to be some sorta fractional coin...

I believe the pendant thing is a coin made to spin in that frame with part of an image on one side and part of an image on the other.

When you flip it with your finger and look at the coin spinning, the two sides make a complete picture. Very cool! :thumbsup:

Yep, it's a spinner. I've found a few of the spinner coins, but never found a whole one. Nice!
