Spent the day searching a homestead that had a home built around 1830. Didn't find any silver or gold but did find a few wheats and memorial. Here is a pic of other finds that I was pretty proud of. Especially the door hinge from what looked like from a cabinet, a harmonica reed and a crotal bell. It's a single piece bell with no markings so I can't date it but I assume it has to be mid to late 1800. Any thoughts?? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1440908938.930632.jpg

Cool relics! Sometimes coins aren't the most interesting finds at a site. I think you're pretty close on dating that.
