Two More Savages & an Error...

Hi folks, I've been away from the forum for about a week or so. We had terrible weather in NY/NJ for most of the Labor Day weekend, but today was nice and I got enough yardwork done so my wife didn't flip out if I went out detecting.

I found the two IH cents which are 1890 and 1903. As well as the 1912 and 1924 wheat cents. Towards the end of the hunt as I was digging all target to continue to clear out that area of the park I dug the 1890 IH and this nice 1969-D dime with a planchet error. This is my second planchet error coin that I have dug. The other was a wheat cent several years ago.

I also got these three (I think modern tokens). They say "Family Amusement Center" on the front and "No Cash Value" on the obverse. Looks like there are two slight variations - anyone know anything about these? There was a fourth, but I gave it to a kid that was interested in my detecting. There were all quite shallow - 1" or so.

Also found these Whatzits - one looks like an old metal wire connector and the other is a hemisphere with a hole in it - looks fairly old.....any ideas? Thanks for looking.
 
Thanks Jack! Funny that I've found two planchet errors in the ground and never one in my change. The dime has a much bigger error than the wheat cent I found several years ago. Do these have any value or are they just interesting abnormalities? Thanks.
 
some sell in the 25-75 range, others more! I haven't checked much recently, but might be worth looking and seeing! http://tinyurl.com/ohzy7
