Sue and I are new to the hobby and are having so much fun detecting. Most of the coins we find are clad, which I must say a corroded penny find is exciting to us. However, the finds I think that are even more exciting are those trinkets/toys we dig up (and identify) that were part of my childhood. No, we aren't digging in my childhood home's backyard 
Last night, on our way off the field we were detecting on Sue hit on a metal piece near the car. What the heck, I'll dig it and then pack up. It was this flat decorative piece approx 3x4 inches. Looked at it after cleaning it up last night but couldn't quite put our finger on what it was.
My wife texted me at work this morning all excited. She found out what it was. It's a mold from a 1966 toy. I had one and knew exactly what it was then. You squeezed goo into the mold and then put it in a hot oven to bake into a rubbery version of the goo!!! So cool! We love this hobby.

After Sherpa'ing for a few months I got my own detector, pin pointer, and shovel
