Looks like im going to have to make a few posts just because i cant get the computer or web page to coorperate with me. This first finds are my most interesting and a couple i just have no idea about. The pointy looking object i beleave is the top of a lighting rod. The round copper peice i just dont know. It appears to turn into itself, but i cant budge it. During the cleaning i noticed it had like a felt in it. There is the Lazell rouge box that dates back to very early 1900s since it was bought out in 1920 and everything made by them was very ornate except this box. Also, i have an Illinois sesquicentennial coin... how it got in florida who knows. My prize is th 1933 Ford coin which was handed out during the Chacago world fair for thirty years of progess. The buttons ... one is a panama mobile one dating 1924, one is play money dating 1956, and the last one i dont know. It has an edging like a dime, a star like a 2 cent piece and a date just saying july 1923 with the words STAR and some unreadable letters. Ill try and post some more later if the site lets me.[attachment 121311 finds.jpg]

The ford token brought back memories ... I found about four of them in the same general area about 20 years ago. Love that odd-ball stuff!
