I went out to dig the flea market right before the hot, humid weather broke. I got home and the temperature and humidity plummeted and cool wind picked up! But it was hot and muggy while I dug around under the tables in one section where the dirt under them is sandy and easy to dig.
The biggest item is the huge 5oz item that I think might be a letter opener. I polished it up with tripoli on a buffing wheel to bring out the shine.
Next is a button from a Toledo Police department uniform. "Superior quality" on the back - is a bit presumptuous.

And a rather large shell casing "SUPER-X 30 REM" will be dropped off to the local sheriff's department next week.
This vintage keyhole appears to be brass, but I couldn't get it clean.
The buttons are the most interesting finds for today. I can't find any reference to this particular button made by Scovill Mfg. Co. Waterbury (Connecticut). It says "B&B. S Co." on the front. It is in near mint condition.

And finally this small "Junior Div" N.R.A badge did not clean up as well, but it's in pretty good shape.
