4 Indians

[steelheadwill]

Found myself a little time to dig,
was kinda strange to pull 4 coins of the same type,
Late IH's from 1883-1909(not an 'S'), got another handpunched pewter button,
a brass lock mechanism and key, the pieces still slide & function.
a brass pushbutton latch thing, Brass 'Toilet Soap' box cover,
and a pretty cool brass compact,
Starburst design on back of mirror, Nice variety of turn of the century stuff,
except for the button, pretty sure that one is a bit earlier.
not a bad outing Great Digs to you!

That is one great soap box! What a treasure. I've never seen one quite like that. You say it is just the cover? If so, I would be scouring the area for the bottom! WTG.

Thanks for all your replies! am searching for the bottom of that soap box, actually 95% of my finds come from a 1/2 mile stretch of coastline that I search frequently. new items keep turning up!
HH to all!

Good day in the mud again neighbor. Check that 09 Indian really closely for an "S" If it's got one you just hit one of the tough dates to find.

Thanks NHBandit,
When I saw it was a 1909, I thought that would be rare in itself.
1908 & 09 can have a mintmark below the shield on reverse. both scarce.
not this one
I like him anyway!
