Large Cent, Indians, Barber, buckles and more.

Found a new spot in the woods not far from one I had great success at last year. Not a lot of coins to be found, but what I pull up seems to be what I'm looking for. Although the LC is kind of toasted, it's a 1798. I always like finding coins with a 17 at the front of the date. The silver ring was found about 30' from the large cent and appears to be Victorian era. It's always nice to throw in a couple of Indians and misc artifacts. On the pocket watch on the left I rechecked the hole and found the winder. Pays to recheck your holes.

Don, I like all of your finds. They indicate a hot spot. Did you see any stone foundation nearby? The two pull handles might be from furniture drawers. Were you digging any deep nails?

1895 plain is a semi key. 88.00 for good and up. does it have a mint mark?

Great finds! Love the ring. Usually the stone in a ring that old gets separated. Nice old relics

I guess it's a shame it's a Barber Quarter and not a dime which is the semi key. If I had my choice the 1798 large cent would be a 1799 or 99 over 8. Then I would have a really rare coin.
