Mail day

From Monument Metals. I thought that I would get several different designs. And got a Whatnot-vendor slabbed Maple? Not mad at it.

Two silver afternoon hunt

Found in suburban Connecticut!
1943-S “war nickel”
And Dutch 1919 Wilhelmina 10¢ (.640 Ag)

Today’s lesson is, dig signals for what you think might be a “throwaway” penny/ 1 cent. That is what that silver Wilhelmina coin rang up on!

Info on solid lead bullet?

Found this today in north central Connecticut. The diameter is roughly 10mm. I can see some striations in the one groove. How old could this bullet be?

Button ID

About an inch across, copper, found in New England. Shank is intact. I haven’t toothpicks the details yet.

Any help identifying would be appreciated.

This was found in suburban Connecticut in a wooded area that was once an open field 80+ years ago. Weighs 2.9 ounces and is in good condition re: corrosion. Certainly seems like a US cent, but if not, what is it? A planchette?
