3 hour hunt, these are some of the better finds.
Silver coin, silver chain, a small silver earring, toasted wheat cents, etc.

This is a ten cent coin from 1944 American-Philippines, it is 75% silver.
At some point someone must have turned it into jewelry or something.

A Dog Tag of some kind, has the date "January 31st 1946" on it.
Name on it is "Weiland Peter M."

You picked away at some cool finds. Because of the 2 holes in the Philippine Coin, I would lean towards it being part of a bracelet at one time.
Congratulations on a nice assortment of finds.

I returned a WWII dog tag I found several years ago to the mans widow. It was a special time for her and me.

Just cleaned it up now, it's an ID tag with a name, address, and an Indian's head. Looks 1930's-ish.

I just google maped the address and found the house, and there is an old man standing outside. Would be so cool if that is Maurice and I can return his key fob a half century after he lost it lol :)
