Silver, Bullet, token and more.......

[outdoorgirl]

The dog tag at the bottom say's Fort Dodge 1946. My husband found the bullet but we don't know what kind it is. It looks like WC but it looks different than the one's i've looked up. Does anyone have any idea?? He also found the weird token about the salt. (pics are of the front and back) As anyone seen any of these before? The 1947 quarter has something on it. I tried to clean it up but couldn't. As you see, I've been lucky in the dime dept. Nothing older than 1942 for me though but I'm having FUN!!

Nice finds!!! That is a lotta silver

On the bullet ID...I think Nana is gettin close. I also believe this is a Williams cleaner bullet, and it is closest in style to type III, but it isn't quite right. Also close is the bullet listed as #514 in McKee's "Civil War Projectiles" book. That one is listed as "Experimental Williams cleaner bullet," but it appears to be missing the disc at the base.

Way to Go!

The bullet has either been carved or is a type of "cleaner bullet"...d2

Agreed its a Cleaner bullet

Great silver! Interesting that the Merc has the hole in it, must have been part of a pendant or on a chain. I've been fortunate in that department, as only one of my old coins has been pierced in the same manner. Unfortunately though it was my 3rd oldest coin, an 1854 French coin. Congrats on all your finds!

Very cool finds! I found a vaccination tag exactly like that except it's from 1957.

I love the lock. Bullet's neat too.
As 99Brown said the swastika was a symbol of good luck pre-WWII.

[Danimal]

that's a LOT of silver coinage...is that from a single day's hunt? If so, you're on a great site and I am sure there's LOTS more there to be had!

Some of the older tokens are cooler than coins!

Everything was found in a few weeks time and all of it came out of the same area except the 1947 Q. The spot as been good to us but it seems like finding things are few and far between now.
