[bigfoot1]

Was on a ringfinder call in a backyard.found the ring but also these.owner said his kids found them in the old shed and were playing with them.spread all over yard and just under pine needles.home dates early 30s.quarter in group photo for scale.best guess is bronze for the four brown ones and pewter for silverish one.what the heck are these?he told me to just keep them.

BF... Did you hear about the dope growers catching Big foot stealing some of their weed ?

Here's #5 (with auction sale price -- went for $160): https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?auction=2306&category=46227&lot=1946437

 

[bigfoot1]

stealing?who says that aint his own crop...they do call us skunk apes ya know

 

[bigfoot1]

holy smokes benz....I may actually have something here.I turned down a 100.00 reward for ring find so I guess I have a hundred into them in a way.

Yeah ... Big foot found a job he is really good at...

#1. He is used to the woods.
#2. He is already secretive.
#3. He has been watching and learning from the bushes as the other dope growers did it so he knows how.
#4. Big foot crap is the best fertilizer.
#5. People cant catch him so he knows he probably wont be busted by the cops.
#6. He knows the good **** from when he smoked with the Indians.

:P

Waiting for the smoke to clear here (in this thread - second hand you know)....

Looks like you've stumbled into something very nice. Beautiful "coins", something way out of the ordinary.

Hmm, close on the second, but not quite it: WEISS COLLECTION

The search for and return of that ring has certainly kicked some nice Karma your way.
Congrats
