Well, the site I’ve been going to that netted me a fired round ball and a log cabin button has changed. When I arrived Saturday afternoon, the construction crew working out there had spent the week scraping 6-10 inches of topsoil off about half of the field. This site went from being one semi-relic per hundred holes, to me digging more keepers than trash. This was all from the past three days. Check out my other posts for old finds out here, but anyways, here’s some nice pics for y’all nice people!

Here’s the 4 silver dimes I found. Was real happy to see the barber.

Here’s a 1912 V nickel. I can’t see a mint mark yet lol. Anybody wanna tell me if I can clean it up at all to see?

A nice little sterling signet ring with an R on it. I don’t know anything about this so if any jewelry genius’ have a clue then let me know.

Here’s a big ol honkin .50? Cal bullet. Looks unfired, along with a fragment of what I’m hoping is a 3 ringer. I also found a ton of other fired bullets. Seems I really got down to the lead layer.

Here’s all of the lead bag seals I found that I named the post after. Some are plain, others have identifiers for old railroad companies that don’t exist anymore.

And last but not least here’s some junky jewelry, part of a harmonica reed, a button with a pumpkin on it, and some other trinkets.

It’s been a heck of a three day weekend for me, now I’m tired and my back is sore. Thanks for lookin!
 
That was a great hunt! How deep do you there they where before the construction?

Before they took that layer off Id say all this stuff would have been 8-16 inches deep, with a real nice layer of modern trash at the top that I've been digging through for the past month.
 
Awesome, Congrats!

Nice old coins👍

That is some nice finds, congrats on pulling all those goodies, nice Barber Dime and other silvers too!

Congrats on the silver, Ihp, wheats and a terrific hunt. Good luck. Mark

Well I just figured out how to quote multiple posts in one reply. Thanks for all the kind words!
 
Boy you sure got a lot of good stuff. I'm really interested in the last picture with the very ornate "ring". Is it a ring or something else? Congrats on all the great stuff!

You know I was wondering that myself, I’ve found another one out there. Maybe something went in the middle?

Could be. If you maybe take a few more pics for size and identify the metal I may be able to figure it out. No guarantees though...lol
