First silver Half Dollar! Digging Little Rock AR

[BCSMark]

I have been in Little Rock Arkansas the last few days for work and in the evenings and spare time have visited a few parks to metal detect.
The first evening I was there I went to a park that’s in a 1920s neighborhood. Between the sidewalk and the road I was shocked to pull this 1964 Kennedy half! I’ve never found a silver half dollar and so I was over the moon.
I went back to that park again but didn’t find anything else too interesting.
Next I went to a park that had an old school on it once. I found two wheat pennies and some kind of aluminum 5cent piece.
Today I went to the last park, which I could see on a 1940s aerial had quite a few houses on it, that were gone by 1970. I managed to find the mercury dime, a wheat penny, and a really neat Palmolive soap token, from the 20s or 30s.
Overall I am pretty happy with my time spent here in Little Rock, especially having not spent much time doing research on places to look. Total clad count was $5.67

Well done on the Half and the other silver.
Looks like a sterling ring on the right with a possible amber stone.

Yeah that ring when u foul it I was almost certain it was silver. And even now it still really looks like it, but I’m unsure because it’s not marked anywhere. Maybe also is a little light. Thinking of bringing it somewhere and having it tested.

Cool finds! I've found some of my best coins in those parking strips.

Any idea what this item is?

If I dug it I would say a property stake pin marker

Congrats on finding your first silver half! It's such a great feeling when you see one staring back at you from the bottom of a hole!

Great finds and a big congrats on your first Silver Half !

That is a thin piece of brass, with this stamped on it. Not sure what it was though? Maybe something that would get stuck into a potted plant to be gifted to someone? I was able to find this individual listed in the Little Rock newspapers from the 20s-1930s. Makes sense, lines up with the age of the neighborhood and was pretty deep down compared to the other stuff.
