Default Some Finds Of Mine

I've been detecting every day I've had off from work, I haven't made alot of Spectacular Finds, but I'm not complaining. Just being able to get out as much as I can before I go back to work full time, is satisfactory. So here are some of my recent finds, minus the little clad I've found.
AX Head: Found underneath my dads torn down house on fathers day, it was covered in rust, but husband cleaned it all off.
Circle link thingy: Found yesterday July 9th underneath dads torn down house.
1954D Wheatie: Found at a park July 7th.
1942D Wheatie: also found underneath the house yesterday July9th.
Old Pocket watch Cover: At least thats what I think it is. This was found yesterday under dads house, a nice design on outside and inside a makers mark. I will be posting this in Ask Pappy as I could not trace down that Mark.

Nice finds Indy, and yes that is a pocket watch cover. In fact, I found one very similar last year.
