Was in town today so decided to coldcall and old house in town. The old couple who answered the door were very sweet and said have at it. Searched for a good 2 hours and it was nothing but trash, pulltabs, couple keys, odd copper/brass items. Did find a Winchester Leader shotgun brass. ITs one of the long high brass kind.

The owner had to show his model A in the garage (it was cool), but before heading out he said, you should try that old house next door, its vacant and owned by the church. So, hit it real quick for about 20 minutes. Got some clad, and an item I thought was trash until I saw the pin on the back. Had no clue what it was as it was all corroded but the pin part looked old. Got it home and after cleaning it up, here is what I found
