sorefingers and me went on a hunt today, he found 3 wheat pennies and a 1912 padlock within the first 5 minutes of hunting. 1912,1916 and a 1918. We found a token and some weird items. Maybe someone knows what the item on the far right is, I have no clue kinda like a small clothes hanger, number 48 on the hanger and both safety pens have 48 on them

I am not sure but I think they were used by Laundry / Dry Cleaners years ago to tag customers garments before cleaning. The miniature coat hanger was attached to a string tag that had the customers information on it and the safety pins were attached to the individual garments.
