First on the picture file is a Caffo & Gaudina token from Kelly , New Mexico. Book lists it at $350. Seems like these two Italian boys came to Kelly in 1918 and opened up a bar, which closed down in Dec. of that year, when the state voted in prohibition. That is why the seemingly high price for it. Under it, a religious medal with a female on it from 1900. The big thing is a watch fob from the Miami Copper Company (Globe Arizonia) dated 1891. Guess that miner didn't like the fob or the company cause both wound up in N.Mex.,and he threw it away. Chinese coin, well the orientials were in every mining camp west of the Rockies, so it's expected to find their coins. Tiny lead gun with barrel missing. Maybe the kid who had it bit it off?? No one was worried back then about lead in our culture. Copper ring was a kid's and gold plated, but being in the ground so long, rubbed the plating off most of it. And a small iron key. No sissy plastic cards for those folks
