Went out to old property. Searched the ground for 4 hours and found a few goodies. The button I thought was junk until I started looking at it more closely. I noticed the seal was from NJ and the back was imprinted Superior Co with the metal ties and post still intact. Found it might be a militia button. Not sure so if any one can help me identify better I appreciate the help.The coins are self explanatory. Mercury dime 1925, Wheat 1941 and silver dollar 1889 Philadelphia mint.

They are silver from that era. As far as I know, no US coin was ever plated silver but they were alloyed with other metals for increasing durability. Solid silver would be pretty soft.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Pre-1965 US coins run 90% silver.    As for the button, she's a beaut.

Nice finds. The photo wasn't too sharp. Is the dolloar a Morgan? What's the year and mint mark?
