Today's GPX5000 finds and Mystery Pouch!

My afternoon was open and the sun was shining. I packed up my trusty Ford 4 wheeler and headed to a local spot just to get out and relax. I ended up having a really good outing considering the time frame I had. With a mixed bag of 1800s copper buttons and one really nice cuff button (Civilian? Officer?) and a intriguing little wool sewed up pouch with what feels to be two coins! The rivet appears to have a fouled anchor. Anyone ever seen this? I haven't opened it yet to create a little excitement. Anyone want to guess what's in the mystery pouch?

Thanks for looking!

I just got in and you have already opened the pouch. I was going to guess exactly what was in it.
Congrats on the neat finds.

Nice Finds Mike. Next time give us more than 5 minutes to guess-LOL. The pouch looked new so it was unlikely to hold real old coins. HH, Quindy.

The find is very rare .... these coins are part of one ritual , and you broke the spell to open the bag.

What?

Really?

Bummer.

After I opened it and saw the coins were Mexican, I typed in "Mexican rituals, sewing 2 coins in bag" I did see it was a ritual, but I had no Idea it would break the ritual. Let's hope it's just superstition.

Were they supposed to bury it
I feel terrible now
