Old Chimney finds

[TerryEastTexas]

A just discovered house site with only the chimney left. The quarter is a 1964, just made silver, the knob looks like a door or cabinet knob and the banjo pin is jus t cool. The top ones are a overall button, and a leather rivet.

That site appears too old for that quarter to be there, but it’s a great find.
The site I have been searching only has a chimney remaining also, and I am surprised to even be finding coins in the early 1900’s there.
Looks like a nice open area around that site.
Looking forward to seeing your future finds from there.

The knob you found is usually referred to as a Bennington knob. Bennington pottery was a brown drippy glass, from Bennington, VT.
Hopefully more silver to come your way.

Another pic. of the chimney from the road. Not so open but I will hunt the heck out of it.
