SLQ / 1908 William H Taft Campaign Button / Indian / Buff / Silver

[floodplaindetector]

Finds are from the past long weekend from a short handful of hours at a city block house tear out and a few city parks on Sunday.
Button is a 1908 President William Taft "Billy Possum" Campaign/Advertising Button.
Standing liberty quarter is dateless. Indian penny is 1906, Buffalo nickel is 1936.
The campaign button, Indian head penny, 1963 silver dime and a few wheat pennies were pulled with the "Snake" coil at the city house tear out project.
I stopped and asked the construction foreman and he said it would be fine as long as I watched out for his trucks which were hauling away debris from the demolition.

I am not sure what the large coin size object is. It seems like some sort of very worn foreign coin. It was about 8 Inches deep and read like an older wheat penny.

looks great to me. I am having trouble lately finding some good places to hunt myself.

Congrat's on getting your first SLQ for this year. I knew you would get one.

When you was doing your research on the campaign button did you find out if it had any value and I'm sure it does?

Hey Thanks Mark, The SLQ was found at a very old city block park that had been pounded by a lot of people over the years so it was a surprise when I got it.
The quarter was in a tiny window about 7 inches deep. I just happen to catch the signal and played with it a little to get it repeatable as it had iron on both sides.

I found one of those campaign buttons listed on ebay for $21.
The back on mine is pretty roached out but was still fun to find.
