Hello everyone. I went out on a short hunt at one of my favorite sites. I have found Civil war era, and WW1 era military items here. I dug something today that I have never seen before. I have been researching and haven't come up with anything yet. I ask for some help if any of you might be able to help me out here. I live in Mississippi and the relic has MISS on the front of it. It looks like a button, but on the back it has a different back to it. It is brass I believe. Kinda heavy. Here are the pics.

Dirt washed off of it

Next I found a 1958 Kenny Duncan Bossier City Good Luck token.

Then last but not least my Nickel Tri-Fecta
No Date Buffalo
1943P Silver war nickel
1954 Jefferson

Hope someone can help me out with the MISS button. Thanks for looking. zaxfire69

Kansas coin hunter just pm'ed me that as well. You guys are good. I wish I had a 10th of what you guys know when it comes to Id'ing stuff. Wow. Well that makes sense seeing how I dug a Great seal coat button just a few feet away from where I dug this Collar tag at. Man History is so friggin sweet. I love Metal detecting this is what it is all about. Thanks for Id'ing so fast. You guys seriously are top notch. :notworthy: :notworthy:

zaxfire69, that Good Luck token was bought/won at carnivals back when and could have any wording stamped on them... I've found several and think they are cool...
