hunt turns up a Jeton, Lead bar, vaccination tag and 32 coins

My buddies new Tesoro arrived a few days ago. After teaching him the basics of ground balancing, interpreting signals, Digging plugs, and filling in holes, I stepped away from the playground to give him some easy targets to find while learning his new machine. While he was doing that, I decided to hunt the grassy area near the community Picnic Pavilion.

Being former US Military housing, I usually get a good mix of US, German, and Euro coins and today was no different. 33 coins including 4 little wheaties.

The non coin items included what appears to be a jeton (circa 17-18th century - we are still trying to nail down specifics on it - see my post in the what is it thread). Within a few steps of digging the jeton, I pulled out a lead bar that appears to be a crude pencil.

Other items of note include a fishing sinker with Line still attached (thread type), a modern suspender buckle, and a dogs vaccination tag from 1975.

HAy Joe just saw your post, great finds. I will be trying that big coil tomarrow. Will let you know how it works. That lead bar does look like some of those found at the civil war camps.
