    Back to the old school

    Got out today for about a three hour hunt at the old school. Found $12.66 in clad. One wheat, 58-D. An aluminum Good Luck token. And to save the day a 1957-D Rosie. That makes silver #20 out of this site. The strangest find though was this thing with a chain attached. I have NO idea. I am going to post it on the what is it page also. Its about the size of a quarter. Appears to be made of copper. Its 1/4 inch thick, and heavy. I do not know if it opens or not. Kinda seems like it has a seam around it but not sure. I don't want to pry on it till I kinda get an idea what it is. Because of the thing sticking out the top, I thought at first a small watch. But I think its too heavy for that. It weighs 19.7 grams. Thanks for looking.

    Nice pile of clad. on another silver for the jar. I am pretty sure that the round copper item with the chain has a gold coin in it..... rofl or maybe a Barber quarter. Glad you got out to do some hunting.

    The case looks like a snuff tin, but the chain seems out of place and odd sized. I'll do some research. If anything shows up I'll post it here.

    Two items showed up the first [url=http://www.ioffer.com/i/tibet-handwork-auspicious-amulet-snuff-bottle-512364908]http://www.ioffer.com/i/tibet-handwork-auspicious-amulet-snuff-bottle-51236490/url] shows an item slightly larger than yours. The second http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Bras...item1c28be66ff gives you an idea of how small they were made. Definitely not a definitive answer, but something for you to think about and maybe do some further research on.
