I found 4 different foundations in the woods today. I only hit 2 of them... came away with some keepers.

Got 2 crotal bells (1 huge one), a buckle (age anyone?), and a button. Also got 2 coins....one is an 1863 token. Has a picture of the flag on the front, back says "If anyone attempts to tear it down shoot him on the spot" with "DIX" in the middle of the circle. I found some other ones online and it was a civil war token about Fort Dix.

Also found another coin (the one with the left facing bust and wreath) but i have no idea what it is. it has some text i cannot make out, and the back appears to be blank. it is thin and about the size of a penny. any help would be appreciated.
