2 Silvers and what is this King George VI button???

[washingtonian]

Hey folks!

Had a flexible workday so I took off after lunch to do some hunting. Ended up in a good little pocket and pulled up a good number of oldies.

Here’s the total take:


Here’s a close up of the 39-D Merc (hadn’t found that date previously!), 925 ring and relics including an old cross and a couple of buttons. Does anyone know what the King George’s VI button is? At first I thought it could possibly be Canadian military? Maybe it’s just decorative? Looks like the bust you’d see on Canadian coins of that era.




Here’s a close up of the 925 ring. It’s pretty small. Pretty much just rang up as a penny.


Here are the 10 wheats. Most are from the 40s/50s. The oldest are 1918 and 1918-S.


I didn’t get a close up of the 46 Jefferson of the tax tokens. I think you know what those look like! Haha.

Thanks for looking and happy hunting all.

Nice silvers and other recoveries. I bet you have a bucket full of those tax tokens.

Nice batch of "afterwork goodies!

I am guessing that the button is a fashion button similar to these:

Nice digs Wash, the KG buttons are decorative I think, I have one kicking around here somewhere ( not dug) no idea where it came from but probably belonged to my dad at some point

Washingtonian you had a great day today I have to admit a marble is the cherry on top for any hunt

Top notch finds W.

Definitely not Canadian although it is of course close. The legend isn’t quite right though. I think the button is modeled after a British coin but can’t tell from the picture which as I’m not super familiar with coin sizes from Britain.

Found this using the legend...
