Default Finds and a "What's This, Pappy?"

Hi all... quick post here... hunted Sat and Sun... mostly old/vacant lots... found a lot of clad too, but alas, no silver (coins...)...

did manage to find a few very interesting "things" however...




Pic 1/2 - What I think is some kind of old de-coder toy... UPDATE: Hake's - DAVEY ADAMS SECRET COMPARTMENT DECODER.

it's copper, and it had 2 parts in the hole... i saw all the letters around the one piece and couldnt figure it out - then suddenly i realized it's a de-coder! the letters on it are D.A.S.C. on the top, and SLC in the middle... i'm just now startnig some research on it... Pappy, if you know, please edumacate me!





Pic 3/4 - A token that, on one side, has Hillsboro Chapter No152, Hillsboro TX and ONE PENNY in the middle; and on the other, some letters HTWSST... Pappy??


Pic 5 - Hotlicks brass guitar pic


Pic 6 - squashed silver ring



Pic 7 - MerryWidow container (bow-chicka-wow-wow!)


Pic 8 - Some sort of badge thingy from the 2002 ACL Fest (where I found the guitar pic, too)
