Today the wife and I were in our usual woods. I found 4 wheaties and one silver merc. Additionally, I found a religious token, an earring, a gold plated ring, and while perusing around an old privy pit, picked up a neat bottle that was sitting on the surface.
The wife didn't have as many finds but what she lacked in quantity, she made up in quality. She had 2 wheaties, an old white jar that she found by the privy pit and an interesting button that looked military and said VMI on it. Turns out it is a civil war era button from the Virginia Military Institute!

My coins, the token and the earring.
Ring. It says 12K on the inside but it obviously is plated.
Bottle. I looked it up and found it dates back to the early 1900's
The jar my wife found.
Button. It seems to be in good shape. What you see on it is dirt. My wife didn't want to clean it to hard because there seems to be some of the brass guild still on it.
This is a good example of the button I found on the web.
