The dollar coin is a Susan B. Anthony dollar... I have not found one yet...
The Round thing with the eagle on it is a watch fob and since you are finding Civil War relics in that area I wouldn't doubt that is from that era too... though the eagle on the watch fob looks more like eagle uniform buttons from the WWI/WWII era. if you are pulling civil war era relics from that area I'd be going back over and over... there is more to be found!

Oh yeah Welcome to Tnet!

Notice the telltale attachment point at the top of the watch fob

The is a WWI/WWII eagle button much like your watch fob design

Thanks everyone! I hate the video had the clip that did not play; where I found the silver quarter. I wish I knew what causes that. It does not do it on my end and only happens when it is uploaded. I appreciate all your comments and thanks for watching!

nice finds. For the silver coins, consider not rubbing them right then and there. Rubbing a coin can put fine scratches on it, especially when there's dirt on it. This permanently damages the coin, and if it's a rare one, will affect the value considerably.

I don't worry too much about rubbing silver coins like Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes because there really are none that are collectable/valuable. I am a little more careful with the older coins like the Merc dimes. What you can get for a coin coming out of the ground does not change. I try to be careful but I don't sweat it too much. Thanks for watching!
