I managed to get me an 1874 Fishscale, old scout pin and a 1 pint token. I still haven't found a half dime yet and when I spotted the fishscale shining at the bottom of the plug that's what I was thinking. I really like finding the fishscales to though.

Yes it's glass Anne, I figure that it came up out of an ash pit.

Actually they (U.S. half dimes & Canadian 5 cents) were nicknamed that back in the 1800's but the fishscale nickname for the U.S. coins dwindled as the Canadian 5 cent piece held the nickname I think because they were minted up into the early 1900's. They are so small and thin that they look like a fish scale.
