Front yard finds

[dieharddigger]

Detected the front yard and the parkway for a while yesterday afternoon and today. The pic of the junk is the third pile I had like that. The yard is about 20 x 5 and the parkway is about 40 x 4 I still can't believe how much crap was there. I found a 2004 memorial that was encased in some kind of rubber or something,a live round from a 38,and a junk ring. I did manage a few keepers though. A 1905 Indian,that I scratched, two wheats,a 52 D and a 50 D. My daughter wanted to try the detector and her third hit was a 1955 holed coin from Cyprus. A 3 mils. Not sure what it is made of,but I'm hoping its silver,its gold colored though. If any one knows,please let me know. I also found the little aluminum,could also use info on that. I don't know if it's a coin or not. Any idea's?

Hey Steve,
Nice finds!! I believe the aluminum coin is the old "falsa pequina".
Kids play money. I've found lots of them, in all denominations.
Some of them say "falsa pequina" on them. I thought my first
silver 3 cent piece was some of that play money, till I took a real
good look at it. Keep on a swingin!!
