Hit a newly excavated lot in St Petersburg. Found the smallest token, it was in a hole I had just pulled a penny out of. Lucky to find it. Also got a Rogers spoon ring. Only one silver coin, a1945 quarter. And this cool die cast car. It's a Buick. The little bottle came out a hole as I dug a coin. Not sure what it was used for. No markings on it. And lastly part of a pocket watch. 20170424_145313.webp

I have a similarly shaped bottle, a little bigger, that was used for eyewash.
 

Love the die cast!
 

Very nice digs,,
The little car looks like a tootsie toy. Be careful with the wheels, they have a tendency to crumble.
Cool spoon ring and congrats on the silver quarter.

Looks like a good hunt to me.
 

The little bottle looks like a medicine bottle?
 

Very nice coin and relic hunt, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

The St. Petersburg token is listed as FL 880H in the Atwood Catalog of U. S. and Canadian Transportation tokens. It says "was placed in use April 26, 1968 to replace the previously used plastic tokens."

That ring is silver... correct?

Baking soda on a wet toothbrush will make it shine, if it's silver. The "spoon rings" I am familiar with were all made out of Sterling silverware.

Here is the Gorham one I found.
