I started at a yard I hit in the summer and found the skull, Wheat and watch part. I thought the watch part was going to be a big coin, it sounded like it. It gave me a slight heart attack when I seen a gold glint in the dirt, haaa lol. I then went to a WWII training place back in the woods, these 40 or 50 caliper bullets sounded good, I figured they were lead. It wasn't until later at home I figured out they are brass or copper. very hard metal.

Enjoy the pix

Pretty cool finds Brad. What a disappointment the big round discs are when we discover they are NOT big silvers, lol. I thought that key fob the other day was a LC when I first saw it in the hole. The skull is stainless, I guess?

The bullet parts are the copper jackets off of military style rounds. I think...

Nice finds. GL&HH!

Yes,I put a magnet on it this morning, I'm thinking stainless. My dad likes the scull.
Thanks Dave

It is a military site, there are bunkers there.I'm going to take those rounds to scrap yard and find out what they are worth. There are hundreds if not thousands there.I bet I could fill a bucket in about four hours.
Thanks Tom
It will be a stand by place if I get bored

I love finding things like those watch parts. What better to figure out just what, where and when they existed? Especially if they're engraved.

Nice!
