Sunday hunt. Close call with a heart attack!

[The Buzzard King]

Talk about gettin' the blood pumping!
I got out to the woods for a few hours again today, and made a very interesting find.
A small bank container of some sort. I don't know exactly what it is.
Whether it's a container from a bank, or someone's personal piggy-bank.
It's about 3 inches by about 4 1/2 inches in size.
And it looks like it had a slotted top for depositing coins into.
Any help on a positive I.D. would be greatly appreciated.
I found it about 12 inches deep, between 2 rocks.
BELIEVE ME, I CHECKED THE ENTIRE AREA, and found nothing else in the immediate vicinity!
The number "45" on it makes me think it was something a store or bank used, and not a piggy-bank.
Also I found a 1918 Merc, very deep, like 9-10 inches, and a 1903 Injun, at only about 5 inches.
I found both coins before I found the bank thing. As well as a small handful of wheaties.
Thanks for lookin'. Happy Holidays! TBK.

WTG, nice coins and find on the bank. There should also be a small round hole near the bottom on the side, it was used for rolling up paper bills and shoving them inside..........NGE

I grew up in Macomb County, moved there in 1968. I don't remember that bank at all. Must have been before my time.

Great coins, BTW.
