Well done on an excellent hunt, those coins are in great condition - you must have pretty friendly soil in your area. Is the thimble silver plate or sterling silver, if silver there should be some hallmarks on the bottom rim. :Y:

they look like someone has taken the projectile off them and folded the ends and put a hole for a fuse?
I think they used to do as i did as a kid growing up on the farm nothing to do i used to call them spinners the hole was for the gas to expand out the hole after i threw them in the fire like a cheap version of a fire cracker lol well that's what i used to do with them haha ]:D ]:D ]:D

What could possibly go wrong ? ..... right ?

Cool finds, trick for the photos is to rotate the coin(or artifact) 90 degree's clockwise for the photo shoot Tony. ;) ;)
 
Internment camp token. Very sought after and rare. Well done as these are worth a bit and rare.
 
The token is a beauty, seen one from the local internment camps down here, and as Dutchy mentioned they are like hens teeth, well done. :)
