I have been lucky with the non ferrous metals of late. A good variety of historic items have flipped out of the dirt for me to pick up, drag home, and clean up... (much to my wife's dismay).
The button is an old one, made by the A.M. Button Co. The fishing reel is all brass with no manufacture marks and the stamp box was just too cool to leave out there. I have no clue how a Missouri tax token found its way to a ditch in Ohio but it gave me a new area to research. Did not know tax tokens were a thing.
The spoon is sterling silver with some engraving. The kid's birthday was Oct. 03 and had the initials CVE. I was using a honeysuckle stick for a detector and I guess it was tuned in pretty well. Thanks for looking, fldwlkr
