Not too great a day as far as coins - buck fifty plus. However I did come across a couple of interesting items. First thing found this morning was this button or pin saying "Mich Health Dept" have no idea what it is or where it comes from but it is quite heavy.
Next was a big surprise, I really thought I hit something big. Stars, stripes, Eagle, hmm but no date so I turn it over and...NO CASH VALUE token.
Lastly, was another print plate - I've found a couple others before. I am curious of the date for this as I've googled long enough and the closest I came was EST 199 for Hormel Chile dated 1891. EST stands for establishment and the numbering convention has long since changed. Does anyone have any info on this?

First item is a lead seal. Nice one too! :icon_thumleft:
The token is an arcade token.
Post the other one on the whats it forum and ask about the EST.
 

I wondered if it was lead simply due to the weight. I took pictures with a different camera this time; sorry guys for the oversize. Thanks for the ID Mike, sounds like you had a good time at the WWII POW camp. HH
