Just a few more finds from the recent past. The button is an eyeball find from a ballfield tearout at my work out at U of Illinois in Chicago. The bullet was actualyl a whole live 50 caliber bullet that fell apart when I tried to clean it. The horseshoe came from the 1840s house I have been detecting. The shoe token is very cool with the swastika good luck sign on the reverse (my how times have changed.) It rang up like a sliver dollar at 3 inches. The Bowman milk tag is probably from a crate of milk that fell apart in the ground. I found the bullet and milk tag on a woods hunt with Tech125 and Silverstar (of course Mike stole the show with three silvers including a smokingly nice Walking Liberty half.) Thanks for looking.

The shoe token was for the official Boy Scouts shoes.

Love the items. Such detail and while newer than a Reale or LC I often find these items more interesting.

Some nice finds there. As a former dairy worker, I like the dairy co. tag.
