Default old house finds

Nothing of significance, some clad coins, with 1 wheatie, a couple of matchbox cars, a ring, countless metal objects, tons of junk metal. I did dig up a John Adams coin, that isn't a U.S. minted coin. Can't seem to find anything on it, has his picture on the front stating 2nd President 1797-1801, and the back is entirely made up of a brief written bio. Anyone know anything about these?
