WWI military silver, silver coins, IH cents and more!

I noticed somebody mowed a bunch of grass at an old farm I’ve hit before. This area has several neat rows of trees, it must have been a picnic area or something. The finds just kept coming!

I dug this little scarab, maybe a zipper pull or part of some jewelry.

Found a couple old bells, this one is the largest I’ve ever dig.

Happily dug a few silver coins, including this 1909 dime.

This silver pin sounded terrible, it was surrounded by nasty iron.

Thought I had a gold ring, unfortunately it’s gold filled.

A pile of “junk” I’ll go through later.

I really like the Lexington Motor Car tag, never heard of that maker before. Scored a newer silver quarter, a broken 1902 fish scale, and the ugliest Merc I’ve ever seen haha. The two Indian Head cents were a spill together the same hole.

Didn’t think much of this “Billy Possum” button until I got home and looked it up. It’s a presidential button in support of President William Howard Taft from 1912!

The pin is my fav find of the day. It’s marked sterling and still has the pin attached! Looks to be a WWI U.S. Marine pin.

Can’t wait to get back there and go over it all again. It’s nice to have a new spot to pound.

I’ve exhausted my usual spots so it’s nice to have a new place to dig for sure.

Thanks adit, I thought it was some sort of old work overall button, turned out to be way more interesting than that!

Wow really nice finds! I like the button!

The land owner was interested in a big old WWI great seal general service button so I gave it to him. I have several of those so I’m glad he chose that instead of the Billy button.
