Awesome finds!!!! I remember my great grandmother always had a little coin purse with her. She was born in 1896, Man I wish I could get ahold of one those today...LOL Love to try to hunt her old home. Sure I could find some great stuff....HH

Absolutely awesome find, and very cool that you have the purse sections to display along with it! I agree with what a couple others have suggested - I'd definitely keep them all together like the one picture you took and display them in a shadowbox or frame. It'd be a great conversation piece - fires the imagination just wondering what the story is behind the change purse and how it ended up in the ground!
