Old school and old ballfield finds today

[Beefcake]

Today, Buckeye and I went to Akron to hunt an old school with a super large yard... Yielded a bunch of junk and the strange looking pendant and chain in the picture? I'm thinking I've seen one of them before... Indiana Jones maybe? It's quite heavy. We got tired of sweating at the school and drove back to our neck of the woods where we hunted a isolated ball field that must have been used since the 50's or 60's. Buckeye found a silver Rosie right out of the car practically and I managed to find this 1967 Kennedy Half... which I come to find out is 40% silver... My heart skipped a beat when I saw the large size and silver gleen in the hole... I was hoping it was an older one, but I'm not complaining! I found the 1946 Rosie two days ago at my wife's cousins place. It was nice to get some silver in the pouch again... I was thinking I was in a slump...

Cool! Not sure what it is, though. But I think I've seen one before too.


I lived in Akron, Ohio for a year... 1983.
Lived in Springfield Township and went to school there.

HaHa, that ring in St Aug makes other finds sort of a let down, doesn't it. Next time mail me the ring and you will be happy with the coins.
