Visited Mexico this past October for 2 weeks, conditions were not the best neither my reason for visiting. Foliage and plants double me in size and those who know me know im a big guy. Very limited access basically just where the tractor tracks passed and a few corn cut fields. The outings added up to maybe 4 or 5 hours. Here is an overview of the best finds
The lead came in form of bullets and round ball, don't know the age on them, but I suspect some are old, a lead soldier also made himself present.
2 Bronce Rings, one with a name INEZ, and old nail, and old crucifix missing christ, part of saddle ornament and the already mentioned lead toy.
Part of an Iron Jews Harp, What i think might be a small lipstick case ( Made in England )?., A pair of bronce tacks, an aluminium thimble and some random iron hooks.
The buttons showed up in the form of 3 early to mid 1900s iron back buttons, an even more modern cloth cover button also with an iron back, The best buttons are the small button that looks like the upper part of women body that us men love so much and the ball button missing its shank.
Finally the coins are as follow, 5 Centavos from 1955, a 1942 Un Centavo that cleaned up really nice, My first Jalisco (Thats my home state ) state copper from 1834 1/4 Real, and Big counterfeit 8 Reales from the Guanajuato mint dated 1850 that really broke me, because it was not silver, but Oh well a fake 8 reales is better than none, This is the coin I always wanted to find, a Mexican Republic 8 Reales thats why I chose this name when I created my Tnet account. HH and GL to all.
