Congrats! Awesome coins and relics. I really like the watch fob and the brass shotgun shell. I find the hulls from the old paper shells all the time, but I would love to find one of those complete brass ones!

Great video. A shame the large cent was all busted up. Not surprised you went back to dig the signal you gave up on. I've done the same thing several times. Every time I dig something from under a root it turns out to be something totally worthwhile. Two of my silver half dollars were under roots. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

So true..
Great hunt..I'm jealous.
Just out of curiosity does that small buckle next to the spoon on the bottom say Hickory on it?

I will take a look at it and let you know

unfortunately there are no markings on either one of the clips. How old do you think they are I was thinking late 1800 s early 1900 s

That's exactly the time frame of the site I found mine.
I think they are from overalls
In fact a lot of the stuff looks nearly identical I also found a couple Barber dimes and V nickles.
I would go back over that area several times from different directions
