Oldest find yet,1839 Seated Dime, Merc, Wheats and Capt. M. Decoder Badge

Good evening everyone. Went back to the early 1900's farm site and pounded it again. To my surprise, I found my first seated dime and the oldest to date. It is worn a bit but have no idea how long it has been laying in this yard as the farm dated from the early 1900's My half dime was 1842. Found some more old wheats (5) the oldest being 1913 and some 40's/50's. Found a nice 37 merc in good shape. Also found another cool local token. This is my 3rd token from this place. Also found a few cool relics. One has Captain Midnight's Secret Squadron on it. Looks like some kind of badge. Anyone know what it is?? Also found a heart shaped badge but the pin is missing. No idea on it either. Found a fishing sinker and some. That thing must weight 1/8 of a pound . Then found some knob? Thanks for looking. Ron

Man I've got to get on here more often. Congrats on some more great finds. You're doing great on the tokens, not to mention the coins and other goodies. Although I have dug an 1823 bust dime, that seated beats my oldest seated by about 50 years. And I've been detecting for a looong time. You just keep on amazing me with your permissions and finds. You're probably out on the road, but give me a shout when you want to get together again.
