So I drive almost an hour to go dirtfishing today. Only to find out that I got a bottom feeder. Shew lol he probably found the only copper coin out there but o well we all been bottom feeders at some point lol.. idk if he had a good machine or real novice at this being that he walked all around the iron bed. So I turned that place upside down looking hard today..

soap and water is all i can think of
 

Looks like you are into an early 1900’s site. Nice collection of finds. I don’t think the bent round item is a typical dandy style large coat button, something more modern. I personally would take some 000 steel wool or mild scotch brite pad to the medal. I bet you will uncover some copy. There has to be some coins there and silver. Congrats!
 

The last one you think is a pendant looks like an part of an Army marksmanship badge. Congrats.

No I found some older stuff there . I found civil war general services button there this past weekend. Along with big and small button and one had a square shank on it. Just this time around I found more modern stuff. I think a couple generations lived at this house that's no longer there. And I will definitely try the steel wool method on it got me curious of what it is now. Lol
 

Congrats on the nice haul, I agree that does have the shape of a marksmanship medal.
