I went on an AM hunt around a Pittsburgh house from the early 1900's and found some goodies. It was a small yard in the middle of an old part of town, so it made it very nice. I found:

  • 5 wheaties, years '41, '19, '56, '56, and a '48
  • a 1959 silver dime
  • a nicely detailed button with a shield/Latin on it
  • a 1930's Kissproof USA mini lipstick
  • a decorative engraved & initialed band that is smashed flat
  • misc clad
I am not sure what the silver band is(?)... It's too big to be a cigar band and too small to be a braclet, and has initials engraved on it. I'll throw it on the What Is It forum and see if anyone can help.
