Todays hunt & recent finds (some silver for a change)

I hit the woods today near a large lake, I found a bunch of shot gun casings and these keepers, the button pic didn't come out/ no markings on button, lead ball ?

The second pic are recent finds. 19?0 SLQ (only see a 0) - IH 1889 - 43 S george - 1915 barber qtr(my 1st) - 1941 merc - no date Buff -USN spoon ( US Navy ? how old ?) . The 1925 P.O.S. of A. (Patriotic Order Sons of America ) swimming medal from Ocean City, NJ was found in Passaic NJ. The small ring has the Great Seal on it, looks Army maybe pewter, it disintegrating. Not sure what the wing thing is(stamped sterling on back), I found it shallow in a old park, maybe like a modern biker pin ?

Thanks for looking !!

Thanks for all the replies and info. A musket ball and that is a USAF badge cool. I'll get back there soon ? I found something last Thursday nobody wants to find, a tick bullseye under my bicep, I'll be OK, I'm taking antibiotics for Lyme disease now, I had it last year too, nothing to be proud of but it happens, just have to more carefull now and stay out of the woods, dam ticks.

Ticks tend to leave their icky mouth parts behind in the wound. My 14 tick bites are more than two weeks old and they just don't seem to want to heal....although none of them are surrounded by halos (crosses self).

Great finds, and good luck.

I Hate Ticks,
Ticks got me gun shy I haven't been in the woods in over a month.
I found about ten on me this year, one was attached and doing its thing "little vampires" yuck!
I've been reading about Permethrin its a repellent that also kills ticks and mosquito's.
You soak or spray it on clothing and it will last four to six washings before it is washed out of your clothes.
It's toxic to CATS and FISH so if you have them as pets its probably not a good idea.
Has anyone used it?
