way to go, beavertail! nice pile there. i'm sure the ring from thailand is good silver [usually is.] it's mostly the junk from korea, china and italy you gotta watch out for. is that a lead piece in there too? if so, it resembles some of the small lead cakes i sometimes find near battlesites and campsites. good hunt, and hh,

Yep its lead, found it near Alexandria, La. there was a couple battles there during the civil war. I believe it was during what is called the Red River campaign. There was also 2 forts in that area on the Red River. Thanks for the info I thought it might just be discarded lead.

Great finds.
Great road trip as well.
I wonder how many more of us will be able to stand the
gas prices though. Soon maybe by middle of next year gas will in
all likelyhood be $5 or $6 per gallon. Even now its a burden. I don't
drive too far to metal detect now.
