no clad today, only silver and buttons

Not sure about any of the buttons. Also, the big one is round, flat and maybe hammered, and probably copper. The little ones are very heavy for their size.

No clad? Sorry to hear it

Yep, a couple of hot dimes. Can't figure out the hammered flat disk..turns out its the same size as a quarter but almost half as thin. I thought I tested it after I dug it out and it would only ring with disc turned down to below the 5 cent mark.

Seriously - no clad..a 1929 wheat penny was the latest coin. Shotgun shells...actually found an oil wick-type lamp with no globe or tank but left it for someone else.
By some other case iron there was a rusted out shovel. Made me think of some treasure hunter was there from a bygone era. Kind of like finding a skeleton in the pit with the treasure chest. Ha
