finds before the teardown

[clad]

i did some detective work and found the owner of a local plot of land that had 5 houses on it i noticed they were preparing the houses for removal and demolition to build a new Walgreens.he said as long as i didnt go in the houses go for it! i detected for a couple hours.all coins are clad and i believe the foreign coin is chinese it has no date on it-it could be a token.the combat badge has 2 clasps on the back along with the word sterling.i would like to know what time frame it was earned.they were awarded from wwII to the war in iraq i believe.once the houses are gone i am going to hit it again.HH

a closeup.
Good hunt.

Nice finds, I thought most Chinese coins had like a square hole in the middle?

Is the combat infantry badge silver? That's a pretty cool find.
Will you be able to go back there?
