AWESOME DAY!! Police button, Eagle button, V-Nickel, IH, Rosie, Tokens & MORE!

I had a great 2 hour hunt after work today at the new plantation spot I just started to MD.
I'm still hunting with a new Tesoro Silver Umax with stock coil for now. I finished up the front yard and scored an IH and a flat button, then worked part of the side yard. This section was HOT!!! I dug the coolest old button I've dug. By far my favorite and in fantastic shape. Almost all of the gold gilt is still there! I hit a large assortment today, and I was happy as a clam today.
I won't bore you with details. Here's my finds for today:

*"POLICE" button (22mm) with gold gilt - Back mark is "A. Jacobs & sons - Baltimore MD." (circa 1915)
My best button ever!

*Eagle button (22mm) - Back mark "City Button Works - New York" (circa early 1900's?)

*18mm flat button - Back mark "Best Colour"

*1901 "V" nickel in very worn shape, but it is my first "V" nickel ever.

*1904 IH

*1946 Rosie dime - my first in about 6-8 months!!! (I mostly find Mercs)

*1940 & 1954 nickels

*Wheats- 1919S , 28 , 45 , 52D (x2) , 57D.

*"City Bus Lines" bus token.
Any idea on the age of this token, and/or what city?

*Egyptian looking token - about the size of a dollar, but a bit thinner.
Any info on this piece?

*Decorative copper lamp piece (?) - it is threaded all the way through.

*A Ford Model A ignition piece.

*A large spike looking thing.
Any ideas what this is?

*Asst'd relics.

Ya-hooooo!!! What a fun dig.
Thanks for looking,
MM

Great group of finds, MM... Congrats!!!
Only thing I could think of on the token is possibly from the Aladdin Casino, but it doesn't look like any that I have seen before...
Good luck on the ID, & Happy hunting~

I thought i had a good match for your sphinx token but the reverse side didn`t match mine.
PBK is the all seeing, he`ll know.

NICE finds, and i`ll bet you don`t completely give up that new detector when your old one comes back

what's the best way to clean that coin w/out damaging it?

I like the FORD thingy.

Fishstank,
You may want to ask the pros. I can never remember which coins get hot peroxide, ammonia, or vinegar.

The spikes came from an old sickle mower.

Some nice Relics my man! I really like that "Police" button and the "Great Seal" button is nice too. It is always nice to find buttons and Indian Heads and V Nickels all in one day!
