Keep hitting the campground at the park. Pulling a descent amount of clad, and of course tons of trash. I've also done well with old shotgun shells and some rifle cartridges (see the other thread HERE), and have had two new firsts...

My first buckle, unmarked, looks like brass and iron.

And my first forgien coin... Nothing special, but still fun!

There there is the whatsit I found... I found it in a few pieces, but it looks like it goes together in the second picture. It appears to be made of brass, and kinda looks like a flower to me, but if anyone knows otherwise, speak up!!

I like the little Playboy charm, that is certainly unusual.

Thanks guys! I forgot to add something for scale with the Playboy charm, but it was pretty small, like the charm that is on the end of a necklace chain. Plus it didn't have any marking or ring up as silver on the detector, so I am assuming it is clad.

The S&W had the blood flowing pretty good, since it was face up and I managed to dig just deep enough to see the wording. Had me thinking/hoping that I was going to have my first gun or gun part. I suppose it could be part of a toy gun, but it definitely isn't the real deal. More likely I think may have been part of a pin or badge of some kind.

I wonder if that Smith and Wesson badging came off a pair of sunglasses or a pocketknife scale. Neither are particularly high quality, merely licensed which could explain how it popped off.
