went to an old 40's house that i got permission to plunder.. fist target that wasnt junk was a 44 quarter, then claddage.. found the 1901 injun in the same hole with a watch body. it was junk so i threw it away.. then my first large cent an 1848, its been holed so i think it was not lost as change. but who knows. the old key is a master lock lion key..enjoy

A good day indeed! Love the large cent, the hole gives it character and history. (That's one way of looking at it!)
Great finds, thanks for sharing! :clapping:

We find a few coins with hole's in them here in Northern Cal. Back in the day they used to put a hole in them so they can tie the coins to there clothing with a string or twine. The railroad laborers/ miners etc. were afraid if they just put them in there pocket they would fall out while they were working. Nice find!
