Update 6/20/10 - The flat item in the original post (last two photos) did turn out to be a flattened 1909 IHC. You can see a few details after cleaning with some hydrogen peroxide. Could this be a train track coin? I sure hope it wasn't an S.

Got a little of everything today.

1911 V Nickel
1918 Buffalo Nickel
1900 IHC
1909 VDB (no S, unfortunately)
1920 Wheat
1963 Silver Canadian Dime. The odd thing is my last two silver coins were foreign. I didn't find a single foreign silver coin last year.
some kind of button (early 1900s?) - could this be pewter? it came out very clean.

The only new coin today was a 1981 Jefferson Nickel.

Also found a Mount Washington Cog Railway ring (junk metal)
a hem/dress weight?
and could this final piece be a cent that was put on the railroad tracks? Weight is 2.9 grams. The IHC found today was 3.0 grams. If I use my imagination, it looks like some some sort of design.

I didn't have a chance to clean anything yet, so you'll have to enjoy the wonderful green discs that New Hampshire soil produces. HH all!

    Very interesting array of finds.... sure did run the spectrum. No idea on the last one... could be a RR coin... try acetone or hot peroxide to clean it up a bit... Cheers, RickO

    Cool ID on the cent.. so no VDB, but an IHC. Yep, if it was an S it was big bucks prior to damage. Cheers, RickO
