Silver Quarters / 1888 V nickel / Other Silver & Buffalos

[floodplaindetector]

I got a few weekend day hunts in at old researched schools and city parks since my last post and these are my finds.
The 1888 V nickel was my first for that year. It has a better than average coin value.
The NHG flat button find is a mystery to me and I will have to do more research on that one.
It was about 8-9 inches deep. I found coins back to 1911 at that site.

Nice digs Dave! The NHG piece looks to be a collar disc. Maybe from the National Honor Guard, I saw there is a National Honor Guard Academy online.

Awesome amount and quality of finds Dave. Congrats on that 1888 V nickel. Not an easy one to come by. That NGH does look a lot like a WWI era collar disc. HH and GL Greg

Thanks Dave.
Yes I believe it to be a WWI era national guard enlisted man collar disc.
