I went over to the flea market for a 1 hour dig this morning. I wandered around the tables that I know sell coins and jewelry etc. $1.42 in change - I had to discard some of the rotten Stinkin' Lincolns" as usual. There were some exciting signals that turned out to be scraps of aluminum and lead and a thumb tack. I hate it when that happens. There was also a very rusted key that was only an inch or so down in the muddy dirt under one table.
It wasn't until I got home and cleaned my finds that I discovered the 1882 Indian Head penny in fair shape.
I also found a 1924 Honolulu Co Ltd. Rapid Transit token - Good For One Full Fare. I had no idea that they had a rapid transit system back then! They were made from some kind of "white metal".
Pretty unusual to find way out here in Maine!
I find a lot of Christian items that fall off the tables, and this pendant is unusual. It's for Saint Dymphna. Never heard of her, but a web search says:
"Dymphna is the patron saint of the nervous, emotionally disturbed, mentally ill, and those who suffer neurological disorders – and, consequently, of psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists. She is also the patron saint of victims of incest."
This crucifix rang up loud and clear and I thought it was silver, but I think it's chrome plated copper. On the back it says: "J.X.P." and "PAX ET AMOR" (peace and love). I like it!
This belly bling seems to represent a Playboy Bunny:
This tiger eye earring might be gold plated.
A pretty good day for a 1 hour hunt.

And here's what it looks like in good shape
