Yesterday I showed some jewelry finds from the Treasure Coast, today I'm showing a variety of items.
This token was found by William M. I saw a similar one online being offered for sale for $30.

| Seminole War Buttons and Other Associated Relics Found by SW. |
I previously reported on the Seminole War button found by SW.
Here is a picture of that button along with one more button and a couple of other artifacts.
Congratulations SW and thanks for the photos.
The first button has been positively identified.
As the entrance to Charleston Harbor is dredged, France is watching for signs of Lafayettes ship to emerge.
Joan T. picked up this Silver Nip bottle. You can see the embossed lettering.
It is 6.5 inches tall.
Here is what she learned from her research.
The words "Silver Nip" were first used in 1928. The word mark was register by the Florida Fruit Canner Corp. of Frostproff, Florida and the product was grapefruit for making beverages. the brand was registered by new owners several times over the years and is still active. Your bottle sounds like an old one. I'd guess in the $3-5 range. Digger
On the Treasure Coast the wind will be from the South. The tides are more back to normal and not as big as they have been.
The surf will decrease daily until being very small Sunday.
Happy hunting,
