Tons of clad pennies. some clad dimes and quarters. Yard brass and toys P1010324.webpP1010326.webpP1010328.webpP1010323.webp
One extra fine 64 Washington Quarter (my first) and a U.S. stamped button.

I belive this is a WWII lapel button.. can anyone confirm?

Looks like a WWII enlisted man's collar pin to me. Nice find and so is the silver. Good luck!
 
collar disc looks more like WW I style
can be worth around $20 and up to a collector
 
Nice array of finds, nice piece of silver! I reuse those brass hose sprayers when I find them for my window and gutter cleaning business, my employee seems to loose them all of the time! HH.
 
Since you asked for information:
It is a US Army collar-disc insignia. There are several versions showing a "US" on the front. Casper-2 is more-or-less correct... the specific version you found (no periods, base of letter U has "wide" angled corners) dates from 1910 to 1924. Go here: Dating Metallic Insignia: Collar Disks
