Found these three items at a 1950's home that was bulldozed.
A 1957-D silver quarter.

What type of metal? It has "Sterling 1 K" on the reverse.

I can't get the coin detail on my scanner...
It is a 1958 coin with " 2-cents" in the center and around the outer face:
" British Caribbean Territories * Eastern Group"
On the reverse side is a bust wearing a crown with "The Second Queen Elizabeth" around the outer face.

Thanks for your help,
Bill

That would be an Army Marksmanship badge. Expert Rifle shooter, I got one when I was in Basic Training. Tim
 

What you got there is a expert marksman badge. I have one just like it but when we wore it, we wore it right side up. Yours is upside down.
Those little rings were where the little bars went that showed what you were an expert in such as pistol, rifle, machinegun, field artillery, ect. and they all connected together. You could have quite a nice little ladder down your chest if you were good.
Thanks for showing it. I went and looked at mine and had a great elderly memory moment. Ahhh the thrill of youth.
 

Nice marksman ship badge. I believe you got one of them if you could hit at least 38 of 40 targets from 50 meters out to 400 meters.
