New spot for me, people around this area said that an old lady used to live in this old houses. She grows sheeps for selling; she asked the payment must be in silver coins. Those silver coins should be over here.

She the photos showing the old houses( ruins), in middle of nothing.

Enjoy the findings

The obverse legend of the "Indian" Chihuahua 1/4 real coins will read either:
ESTADO LIBRE DE CHIHUAHUA (26mm)
ESTADO DO CHIHUAHUA (26mm) or
DEPARTMENTO DE CHIHUAHUA (24mm)
The obverse legend on the seated Liberty coin, which appears to also be a 1/4 real State Copper coin, will read E.CHIHa lIBERTAD.
Perhaps worth mentioning again, the ESTADO LIBRE... coin was illegally struck in Pennsylvania, but circulated in Mexico.

It has written β€œDepertamento”
 

You never know Jorgeke the old woman may have stashed away a small fortune somewhere there. Is there any evidence of a chicken coop around?
Well, ….

It is evidence of very old animals β€œhouses” made with stone, very old square shape.

jorgeke,
Your 5 centavos coin is from 1936--if I correctly read the '6' (above the '5' in the date).
If so, it will measure 20.5 mm and had a mintage of 46.7M. That reverse image, within the wide border, is of the Aztec Calendar Stone. A remote possibility the coin is from 1906. If so, it will measure 20.0 mm and be of a rarer mintage; but instead of the Aztec Calendar Stone image next to the border, the 1906 coin has an ornamental border. I believe your coin is the 1936 variety.
Another way to tell the difference: The '36 coin's composition is copper-nickel whereas the '06 coin is composed of pure nickel.
