Finally got a break today to go hunting. Went to two houses, side by side that I had got permission to hunt. Found $4.05 in clad.

No silver which surprised me with the eight wheats I found. All in the fifty's I think.

In the back yard of the second house I found all three of these coins. Found them in three different places. John 3:16 on one side, the Lords Prayer on the other.

Found what I think is an old dog tag. Has Lumberton across the top, # 81 and DOG something on the bottom.

Found a Good Luck coin for J.H.Jordan, ...atontown, N.J., in Mississippi of all places.

Then, my best find of the day was this decoder. Anyone have a clue? 1938 across the top. It has the letters ROA and SS. On the back it has numbers. You turn the small disc till it points to a certain number, then letters show up in the small windows on the front. Of course stupid me had to try and turn it. The small rivet broke. I will put it on the What's it forum.
