Two Old Nickels & Alcatraz Pin...

Hit the park again in S.F. Found a buffalo nickel dated 1920-P, and a 1944-S silver nickel. The Alcatraz pin says Swim Team, not sure if it's just a souvenir or an actual club members pin. The war nickel was a solid 6 inches deep and gave a signal like a copper penny or a dime.
