Finds from this weekend cellar hole hunt. Been finding lots of buttons at this cellar hole, but only two on this trip. Some melted brass, a buckle and button, 22 mag case, a don't know and part from a model T coil box, and a cap from something.

At $1.00 each, those Merry Widows weren't cheap: that was a lot of money back in those days! I guess you had to pay to play...

I find it interesting that they say "tested" on the container...

I believe the item in question is a "points bar" from a magneto buzz coil, possibly from an old car or early gas engine.

That's also why they rinsed them and reused them.....

Some great finds there! One above the shotgun slug maybe a letter opener???
