Weekend Finds - Round Oak Pin, Silver And Indians

[floodplaindetector]

A fellow hard core detectorist and I travelled a couple states south and battled the elements on Saturday and made some old finds.
It started snowing on us at 9 am on Saturday. We worked the same park all day. By the time we quit at 5 pm there was about 3 inches of snow on the ground.
Temp for the day was about 22 degrees and the ground was still diggable. This morning we woke up to -1 temps and more snow so we headed home.

Barber dime is a 1903 o and Indian head pennies are back to 1897.
My favorite find was the older gold plated round oak stove pin. That read similar to an Indian head penny and was about 6 inches deep.
I also got a pretty neat silver dragon ring.

I've been there, done that, but I don't do it anymore. Now it's got to be at least in the forty's before I go out MDing, lol

I got to say you got some nice finds their, the ring, hat pin and too bad that Barber didn't have a S mint mark.

They are talking the 40's next weekend a round here...

Congratulations on the finds. I found a hat pin, only another brand of stove. That ring is way cool! Thanks for the pictures.
