Hi everyone!
Another short hunt before work hitting the parking islands again. Targets are getting hard to find so hitting anything remotely repeatable below 4 inches. Lots of iron and fence wire, but I got a pretty weak 12-41 showing 7 inches. Well, at about 9 inches and through a maze of roots I popped out this somewhat round and thin piece of green. Luckily it cleaned up pretty easily with a couple wipes and could see writing on the better side and what looked like a set of busts on the other. Upon a good cleaning once I got to work revealed I had a bronze Robert M La Follette/Burton K Wheeler campaign button from 1924! Unfortunately I tagged the back a bit getting under the roots, and half the pin is missing, but still a great find!
Prior to finding the pin, I also found another bullet and $1.56 in clad. I also had a barely noticible squeaker that bounced around 12-45 at 7 inches. Flopped over the plug and there sitting on the grass is a pretty nice 1945 Merc. Looking at the impression on the dirt clod I sew it was mostly on edge, so I'm amazed I picked it up at all!
