Finds of 3-22-14. I think a house burned down on this vacant lot decades ago because all these relics were in a layer of black soil with blobs of metal mixed in. Difficult hunt. Found: Ear-shaped filigree watzit, nice old skeleton key, wheat cents from 1918-1945, faucet handle with a nice blueish patina, a Sweet-Orr overalls button, a #3 hem weight, three jewelry parts, the locket/pendant missing it's stones with weird etching, the 1855 $20 California Gold token (a replica of a gold coin by Blake & Co, but was given out by Chrysler in 1969 with a purchase of the Gold Duster), a watch part from an Elgin National Watch Co (post-1874), and a watch part for The E Ingraham Company (1913-WWII)
