Most of the finds are from a few Saturday day hunts at researched old schools and city parks fairly close to home.
2 of the silver dimes were found in a quick 1 hour stop in a small town Wyoming city park on a family trip with my wife and parents before we ran into a snow storm.
The 1918 Walker had so much junk around it that it read like an Indian head penny. I first thought it had to be a token when I saw it as the numbers didn't match a silver half at all.
The ring was found in the area of the 1903 dime and 1906 Indian penny so I know it is old. It tested >= 10K and <=12K gold.
The 3 ringer bullet, bale seal, old bar token and lipstick cases were from a 2 hour hunt at an old farm permission.
The bale seal is from Port Huron Michigan (Lake Huron) and could be as old as 1866. The Civil war era 3 ringer bullet appears to be a 69 caliber.
I have been after a WWII silver air corps pin for a while. It read like a faint Indian head penny @ 8 inches deep.
The Lone Scout Pin is circa 1916 - 1921. I found this one listed online as high as $95.
The old bell is a 3 petal style #3 / rivet style and could be as old as 1870s. The dinger still works once I cleaned.
