Found these three items in a park along with the typical amount of clad. The dime is from '41 and in pretty decent shape. This design is still one of my favorites.

The military snap reads "Patented July 30 1907" on the back. I saw cleaned-up examples on the net that were from WWI ammo belts. There was never any military action in this area so it probably came from a vet who was out for a hunt.

The ring is probably newer but I can't tell for sure. It has an unrecognizable stamp on the inside and weighs 4 grams. It tested sterling silver.

Thanks for looking and good luck out there today!

Little history, little bling, little silver: I'd say that is a pretty great day!
