Great finds Maybe the SS button came from a sunken U Boat? There are quite a lot sunken off of the coasts. Here's a wiki article on your mark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichszeugmeisterei

where it was found it would be very hard to get any boat in very shallow but it is a ball field now and also was a popular dumping area

Doubtful that's it's from a submarine, SS wasn't navy.
More than likely a returning G.I. or his kids lost it.
Very nice find!
