A few finds from some after work hunts while I was working out of town last week. 1956D Quarter about a foot deep in sandy soil; 1926D Cent was the oldest legible wheat penny( there was a 191?); 1943D silver nickel; 1988 1000 Peso coin; Patent 1888 "US" button; Patent 1924 "Dickie's Best" button; Winchester 270 WIN shell; 2-crimp-ring lead slug; a Melvin Purvis Junior GMan Corp badge; an Art Deco buckle that broke in two when I dug it up; 2 arcade tokens; assorted brass things I haven't identified yet. This hobby really passes the time when you work out of town.

Very solid hunting! I like the diversity of your finds...bullet, button, foreign, old silver, unusually shaped stuff, and a good clad count to boot!

Is that the Melvin Purvis badge next the cartridge.

Yes, that's' the tiny Melvin Purvis badge. It was probably an old Cracker Jack or cereal prize. I'll post a pic of it when I get off work.
