Let me start with the backstory: in 1909 a hotel was built by the dock in my area. A three story colonnade, pavilion, baseball diamonds, trolleys, and more were added, and it became a huge tourist attraction. It burned down in 1955 and the area has not been used since. I have been hunting this area over a six month period, and these are my best finds. Many of the coins were heavily corroded because the area in which i found them was once underwater.
In order from left to right on the first image: Merry Widows condom tin, 1940s gambling token, a room key tag from the hotel, a WW1 bag rivet, a v nickel (190-), a walking liberty half dollar (age unidentifiable), a Victorian seeming gas lamp valve (possibly 1800’s), an early 1900’s shoe buckle, a military pin which reads “Primus Aut Nullus”, a penny from 1913, and a penny from 1910.
I was honored to hunt this local treasure.
