All within a 3ft radius or so. Some kid must have dropped their coin collection lol. Pretty cool to find a 1919 One Cent coin from Canada tho! Not really sure about that blank token, nothing on either side.
Not a huge huge deal, but pretty cool! Date is 1917, had to look with a jewelers loop to barelllly make it out.
If you’ve seen my post before, you’ll know I’ve been steadily searching an abandoned school built in 1928.
I’ve only found a small handful of “old” stuff. So far this and a 1919 wheat penny are the oldest I found. I also found the Celtic looking pendant I posted several days ago, about 200 other random coins between the 60s and 70s, a 1945 war nickel, a couple other wheaties, and a few other fun knickknacks, including vintage toy cars I was able to give to my son (the ones that didn’t have the wheels rotted out anyway.)
But yeah, another thing I can check off of my finds bucket list!
Found in Argyle, NY (upstate/northeast) in the yard of an abandoned school building built in 1928. I know a lot of things have happened on this lot since it was a school. It was apartments at one point, I also think that it was used to Park RVs at one point? I have found probably 200 coins in the lawn, mostly from the 60s and 70s, some newer. But I have found a war nickel from 1945 and a penny from 1919, even a couple foreign coins — a Japanese game token and a euro.
I found this in the area that used to be a gravel driveway, so it wasn’t crazy deep, likely because of the amount of rocks in the ground. The loop on the top was broken off, not sure if I did it while I was digging or not. I don’t have the slightest idea what this could be, so any ideas would be helpful!
Edit: Rang up a solid 51 on the Manticore, right in the ferrous line, if that helps.
Found in upstate NY (northeast, Adirondacks), in the front lawn of an old manor built in the 1800s then rebuilt in the 1930s. It’s bigger than a quarter, weighs 9.11g, it’s thick, but the thickness is a bit uneven. It looks almost like the design on the coin was attempted to be hammered into the center of the coin, and was smaller than the actual coin itself? It’s super worn, most of it is pretty smooth, but you can still see the edge border. The only marking I was able to find was on the edge of that off center stamp that you can see. And I can make out a “TED” in that typical Roman style font that US coins use. So I assume it’s the end of the word “United” and you can also see a little pattern along the edge of the circular indentation. I did the best I could with pics and included one though the jewelers loops where you can see the letters. I added an edited version of that where played with the black levels a bit so you can better see the letters.
Absolutely stumped here.
So excited to go test this baby out! Any tips, tricks, or suggestions from fellow manticore users are highly appreciated!
