Finds after a few days of my new addiction

[Ironoar]

Plus some clad, wrought chain, cans, mason jar lids, clumps of melted metal (not sure) and other stuff. My favorite is the button because it was found at the base of an old split chestnut stuff and was probably my wife's great grandfather's. Also, I cannot find any info on the Appalachia Tribe 116 badge, but it's pretty cool because I found it at an old school site that I found using a 1935 topo. The wheaty is my first non clad coin and I was stoked when I saw it. I think I am hooked.

It's CLEAR you are hooked! Lol...it only gets better...congrats on your awesome finds. Excited as you seem to be, I'd like to be nearby when you pull your first silver! Welcome to our world...ddf

That button is really nice. The badge is way cool! I'd bet it was a Cub Scout or Weeblo's Badge. Probably specific to the Appalachian area?
Good finds!

added: I just realized you found an old toy truck too. Any idea what kind it is?

Or Boy Scouts, like these;

Maybe I should change my listed location to South Central Virginia. You're so far to the West, you're about a half state away.

Looking at your finds I'd say you're definitely hooked now. Most of us take a bit to find goodies like you've found already. Get ready to dedicate space and storage containers for the toys you accumulate!

And welcome to TreasureNet.

His truck may be a Tootsietoy. Nice finds Ironoar.

Nice variety. That looks like a Tootsie Toy. Congrats on the medal and your first Wheat Penny.

Thanks! I hadn't thought about a Boy Scout badge. It's a tootsietoy "230" series oil tank truck from the 40's, I think. Pre-War Tootsietoys - article by Clint Seeley

Oh, you're hooked all right! Remember, the first step in overcoming the addiction is to admit you have a problem. On the other hand, celebrate, and keep on digging!

 

[Relicific]

Nice way to start.
Welcome aboard

Pretty sure your medal would be a Improved Order of Red Men badge, and the Appalachia Tribe 116 would be the lodge number. The link following is not a exact match, but I suspect it's the right ID.

Congrats on your finds and welcome to the addiction. If you're married prepare for a lot of begging and groveling to get time to go detecting. I'm afraid the more you find, the more you want to find. Is the truck a Tootsie Toy? Looks old enough to be.

Congrats and cool finds!
I found a Wheatie my first 1/2 hour out and I am hooked for sure. Keep swinging and posting!
