A few finds from March

Hello all. It's been awhile since I've posted. Been busy with work and when I get a chance to detect, I try to get out. I've stopped by and read some of the posts on occasion, but for one reason or another, I had to go without responding to some of the great post that have been made.
Here are a few pics of some of my better finds for March. Not a whole lot to speak of, but I did find three more silver coins, the best being a 1941S Merc. I also found a couple more silver rings (one of them is bent, I need to find a way to straighten it out) and just a couple of cool finds.
Thanks for looking.
A group shot of my better finds--two silver rings at the top, an Oklahoma Tax Token from the 40's-50's, a zincoln with a cut out of a Cross (found this one in a school yard right next to a church), a button, some kind of key and a Star button (Not to old by my guess), followed by the silver coins (very blurry--time for a new camera)
Here's a close up of the rings.
Silver coins and the buttons. 41S Merc, 59D and 50 Rosies.

You might be able to make something for cheaper but I thought it might interest you.

I have found a BUNCH of rings this year. I don't know without going back and actually counting them, but I would say I have found close to 20-23 rings so far. Some of them have been junk, one gold plated ring and approximately 14 or 15 silver rings. Like I said, I don't know for sure, but I've found a few so far. One park in particular has given up close to 13 or 14 of those rings.
I love finding the Merc's. What a beautiful coin.
I'm not sure what the button is on the right. It has a star on it with some background lines--I don't think it's all that old, however the back is rusted away. It's been in the ground for some time anyway.
Intocoins--thanks for the link. I need to get a mandrel so I can straighten out the bent up rings I have.
Thanks again,
Scott
That's interesting that you have unearthed so many rings. You must dig a lot of signals? I know that the vast majority of the silver rings that I have found have rang up as "coin" on the detector, but the gold and junk rings usually come through as pulltabs. I suspect that I have let many gold rings slip away as I get fed up digging the tabs in the trashier areas. An interesting observation: My Mercury dime recoveries probably outnumber my silver Roosie finds 4 to 1. Do other people find this to be the case I wonder?
