Relic Hunting In Karelia
Nights of Coins & Relics
My next two finds could be placed in the "Whatsit" (Unidentified Relic) category. The first one looked like an ordinary brass washer when I recovered it.
When I flipped it over, to my surprise, I noticed an 18th century coin encased within the copper frame.
It did not seem to be a medallion as it did not have an eyelet for hanging it on a chain. And the coin did not have a hole in it for being used as a washer.
What Would Be the Purpose of This Design?
The second "whatsit" was no less unusual.
Being 2.5 inches long, made of bronze and shaped irregularly, this relic was a classic "whatsit."
Up Close
It could be a part of some simple mechanism.
