Silver and buttons

[jmastny78]

Hit up two locations today and came away with some goodies (even though the ground is dryer than chalk)! Started by hitting a park right next to a lake. Came away with a 1956 Washington quarter a modern dollar coin and some clad. I'll never complain about finding silver!!! Then went back to an old church location I've been hunting for a bit now. Ended up with thee buttons, one of which seems to be military with an eagle (a first for me!), a thimble, a wheatie (date is completely gone), and a roundish lead piece with a quarter piece cut out of it. Not a stellar day, but like I said I will never complain if I find silver and come away with a first find! Thanks for looking and HH!

Also forgot about this guy found at the church site! Not old, 1986, but definitely unique and cool!

Nice finds. Is the eagle button a two pc that is smashed? Looks like a CW general service button.

Yes, it is a two piece and the top is smashed.
