No more buttons. :(
But, actually, a very interesting mixed bag of finds. I really enjoyed today's hunt.
Feel free to comment on any of them.
Iron slug? Doubt it, it's not magnetic. Any ideas?
I think I've seen one of the thumbscrew looking thing on here before, but I forget.
Did the Fuller Brush Man ever use silver on their brushes?
And there's a slight surprise in these finds. The piece that looks like can-slaw, (all it says on it is Pat. Pending), the Fuller Brush cap, AND the ring marked .925? They all tested the same for silver. How about that for a kick?

It looks & sounds pretty solid in the middle. Not very magnetic so it's not likely iron. I don't want to create a hole in the center of the coolest coin find in the world! LOL
Actually, a washer, slug, or maybe a spacer is what first comes to mind. But, it just doesn't feel like one of those. I can't think of any coin that would corrode like that except maybe some nickel/iron based thing. If I can't figure a way to knock some of the corrosion down, I'll try a hammer.
Thanks for the response.
HH!
I have to take my detector out for a walk every now & then. If I don't, it starts leaving little piles of pull tabs all over the house!!
