Found a new spot in the woods not far from one I had great success at last year. Not a lot of coins to be found, but what I pull up seems to be what I'm looking for. Although the LC is kind of toasted, it's a 1798. I always like finding coins with a 17 at the front of the date. The silver ring was found about 30' from the large cent and appears to be Victorian era. It's always nice to throw in a couple of Indians and misc artifacts. On the pocket watch on the left I rechecked the hole and found the winder. Pays to recheck your holes. I went back today and found a Spanish American War button made by Horstmann out of Philly and an unusual ox horn topper.

I think these are dream finds ("sweet dreams are made of these ") What is the hallmark inside the ring ? really could help with dating .
The Draped Bust Large Cent is a very nice and important find !

I could spend a weekend detecting the spot you were at and come home with just the large cent and be smiling from ear to ear. Wonderful finds.

From first look, that ring could have a bit of age. Compared to my LC's yours isn't toasted, lol. Just lightly browned. I would have mistakenly thought that topper was a flagpole end. I like it as much as any of your finds simply because it is new to me. Thanks for teaching me something new this morning!

Great finds I'm shifting to the woods and rivers/creeks from the fields since the crops are all planted and getting high. Hope to have the luck you have had.
