Had a great hunt today. Found my two oldest coins so far. A 1920 wheat and the 1939 Mercury with a D mint mark.

Found some clad, a Jesus coin, a kids toy badge, and the Marines pin.

First of all I would like to say nice job on the silver and the wheat penny. It's always exciting to find a new oldest coins. Keep up the good work and you will find plenty more.

If you are calling the round object with the star in the center a kid's toy badge I'm not sure that's what it is. I think it is a love token or a good luck token that used to be quite popular at truck stops and gas stations. Back in the early 80s my girlfriend who is now my wife printed one up for me while she was out of town.
