🔎 UNIDENTIFIED WW1 Infantry disc?

[Casey13]

Good Morning everyone!
I went out for a short hunt yesterday and found these 3 pieces.
I'm not sure if the collar disc is WW1 or WW2 and what the I and M stand for.
It rang up 29 to 30 on the Equinox and thought it was going to be a silver lol.
The other 2 objects I have no idea what they are.
Thanks so much!

I think your collar disc is a type 1 dating from 1910-1937. My guess is that it is a first regiment Company M Infantry one.

Makes sense to me. I was thinking about the same time period.

those collar discs are collectible - they can start around $20
in good shape and go up from there depending on rarity
