Got out to the old orange grove plantation for a while today, and found a couple of things I have never found before.

First thing as a 1957 Uncle Sam 5-cent play money token. I guess these were made for arcades.
Also a 1938 U.S. Wheat back Cent

But the item I'm most intrigued with is this:

a WWII U.S. Marine Corp brass twill jacket button!

My first find that is a marked U.S. in military items.
measures about 11/16ths of an inch in diameter.

The rest of the minor finds:
