Back from the internet hiatus. Found my first silver ring, a cool skull and snake, I think someone else found one in late June, early July very similar, gotta go back and check. Also, my first silver bracelet rescued from the junk pile, it is from Italy and is stamped "FA8"(Fate). Found my first pocketknife at a school and the second at Wheelock Park. The button with the eagle is inscribe in Latin with "God is our hope" and from research is Hessian. A small ball button and a flat button I know nothing about, any help would be appreciated on ID. The coin is from the United States Army and called a challenge coin, wish it had some personal info so I could return it. In the words of Sheldon Cooper: "I'm Batman!", for Big Bang fans that was the first thought I had when I saved the Batman car. I will post the rest of the finds later.

that challenge coin is nice looking
 

THAT HAS TO BE THE MOST TWISTED RING I HAVE EVER SEEN. WOW WHAT A DESIGN ON THAT JEWEL. THE HERRINGBONE NECKLACE SURE LOOKS NICE AND SO DO YOUR OTHER FINDS. BUT THE RING , RING , SOMETHING ABOUT THAT RING................................
 

that ring is really cool!, I like the military coin as well, good stuff!
 

Does the cross hatched flat button have a wreath on the back? If it does, I found the same button. Mine even had the seam mark too. I like that ring too.
 

Does the cross hatched flat button have a wreath on the back?
I don't see a wreath, but I am color blind so I could just be missing it, how big would it be?
 

Copy of an old Hessian button.
