Was out hunting today and found a "Mind The Time, Save The Fine" coin holder. People used it to store coins for parking and to remind themselves of when the meter ran out.
I almost threw the thing out but I noticed some writing on it when it caught the sun and decided I'd clean it up when I got home. When I get home I head over to the sink wet my brush and start to scrub the face and out of the back pop 3 coins! A 41 Jefferson and 2 60's Memorials. Too bad it wasn't a War Nickel and a couple of Wheats!
Also dug my first stirrup today and after some light googling it looks like it may be civil war era. (I hope) [emoji2]
