Bullets? and Day of the Dead festival??

Got out for a bit to the park I found the cannonball at. In same place a friend Mike87 found some musketballs last week. Was hoping it was a military campsite, but other than scrap iron and the lead I've not found ANY buckles, buttons, etc. So it's probably a homestead from the early 1880's.

I turned a few myself. Looks like 3 sizes and some are cut for fishing line weights. The big ones are cut in half.

Also turned a scarey brass ring, it rang up 82 on the AT-Pro.

P.S.

Also on the hunt with Mike87 was Topcat who turned a awesome silver ring hallmarked from England with Queen Victoria's duty mark head stamp and dates to either 1867 or 1887. This is the ring. And we think it was lost by the homesteader's wife. Best guess at least.

Interesting bunch of finds, GC. I like the little silver ring - gotta love the English silver for all the hallmarks, pretty cool to be able to date and tell where they came from.
