Last few hunts up to 11-10-24

Last 5 hunts in this drought have been extremely taxing but I haven’t let it stop me. What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger? Anyway, at least 1 piece of silver at every hunt. The first pic shows a Tootsie Toy that I’ve never found before and a Ford Model T ignition piece. 2nd pic, 1920 S Merc, 1907 IH, $1 coin, early Levi Strauss rivet, and pretty jewel in a sterling mount. 3rd pic has a 1930 chauffeur license, 1975-1902 Unión general service button, 1900 Germany 1 Pfennig coin, gold cuff link w/monogram F, 1923 air pressure gauge, ancient Chinese cash, Signal Corps pin, and 1880 rimfire cartridge.
4th pic has 2 ends of a sterling fork, 1881 IH, and the crucifix seems to be silver but no mark.
The only silver in the 5th pic is a crusty war nickel. There’s a rough 1906 V nickel, a campaign thimble, 2 awesome aluminum containers, 2 Mexican 20 Centavos coins 30yrs apart, a cool Grip Tumbler key, 2 more Ford Model T ignition pieces, and one of the pocket watch backs has some writing scratched inside that I can’t make out. Too bad.
Not sure what the red square object is at the bottom, but has paper instructions inside showing the placement of batteries. It was pretty flattened when I found it. Any ideas?

Nice combination of different find which shows that you dig a lot of different signals which is great as you have a better chance to find some interesting finds many pass over before.
I like all the different finds you have found and being able to ID them so you have been doing this for a while.

The ignition piece you mentioned… is that the “T” shaped item in the photo?
If so, I found one years ago, but has no idea what it was.
You have been busy digging and made some great finds!!
 
Great assortment of finds and really nice post. I really like that 1930 Chauffeur badge with the star on it. I have found a few from Minnesota.
I have found a few of those ignition pieces over the years.
The vast variety in your finds tells me you know your machine well. Well done!

Yes. Original pieces have “Ford” etched into the flat section. Otherwise, they are aftermarket. The ignition box was made out of wood, so these would be the only thing left after the wood rotted away.
 
Very nice bunch of finds what are you using for a detector?
