Dug these interesting relics today.
Four mercury dimes, 2 silver WWII badges, handful of wheat pennies,
a couple war nickles, a squished silver ring, and some other odds and ends,
all from a WWII-Era site.

Here is most of the really nice items I dug today,
the pin at the top left appears to be from a Genoa-based ambulance service.
At bottom right is a squished silver ring.
