If anyone could help with more information or identification on the medals and bullet, it would be much appreciated!!
Today's park finds were quarters, 2 dimes, a nickel, 4 wheats, a handful of regular pennies, 2 keys and then the following:
A medal that appears to show a marching band drum major or majorette. Anyone got ideas on this one?
A medal that looks silver with a horseshoe type design with lines running vertically through it. I have no idea on this one. It came out of 4" of dirt looking just as you see it.
A bullet that I assume to be Civil War. It's the first one I've ever dug and it came as quite a surprise. It was about 4" down in the ground. We had Civil War activity in this area, so I guess it shouldn't be too surprising. Is this what is termed a 3 ring bullet? It weights 50 grams, which I think converts to 770 grains if that helps any. I don't know much more about it.
All in all, a cool day.
