Went out and sought permission to metal detect where a towns old fairgrounds used to be. Ended up getting the green light thankfully and found some pretty good stuff! I gotta get back out there again as theres gotta be more hiding. Its a 50 acre field so lots of ground to cover!

Besides the silver coins pictured, I found 2 very toasted IHPs and some more roundballs.

The gold plated watch fob was a watchmaking company that operated from 1877-1930. Dueber-Hampden.
