Man this is addictive lol. This is my 3rd week at this. I've been working the backyard. Nothing to exciting round two but I always get excited finding anything. Yard is riddled with nails and miscellaneous. One year away from silver :( 1965 lol. Found some marbles, token, clad, a key, and some sort of jewelry piece? Also not sure what the silver looking piece is?

Just a guess, but your mystery item looks to be a set out of a ring, broach or another piece of jewelry. ALL great finds. It's surprising what we can find in our very own yards...

The silver item may be the handle end of an old key, great finds!

Say, I found the same token this past Sunday also in my father-in-laws yard, 1960's era, any ideas what it is from or where it could have been used???

That key looks a lot like the rollerskate keys I used as a kid back in the 1950s/60s.
 

Thanks for the heads up on the skate key, I had no clue what it was for. I found the token on Ebay it looks like it was used in arcades.

Great finds! Thanks for sharing...
 

Nice yard finds! Mine doesn't contain anything that good! Nails, metal pcs, bottle caps, the usual trash.
 

Your green mystery item may be an old after-market reflector for bicycle spokes. It would be attached with a nut and retainer. I've seen folks on Treasurenet ID your token as a generic car wash or arcade token. Great haul, Sub 8-)

I think your right about that being a bicycle reflector. I found one similar on eBay. Thanks for the id
