Wheat cents were 1909,1910,1911,(2)1934,1942,1955 S. Indian cent was 1893. 9 transit tokens. Sleigh bell, copper with pewter filled back thing(possibly a cheap rosette),steering wheel pin(for boat) and a lead thingy. Almost got gold but no markings and looks plated. Not bad for 6 1/2 hunt.

It looks like a pretty small one. Some are really big and ring nice. Did you make sure all the soil is washed out of it? If it is the ball could be so encrusted that it's just making the thunk noise. Most of the ones I find up this way have a design but no initials or numbers.

Nice hunt. No mint marks on the early wheats huh? That is a nice bell also. Prob still has the ball inside of it hearing the clunk clunk haha a little cleaning that will be a nice display piece
