OMG! Oldest coin yet in my Miami Fl hunts + vintage Irish pendant

[scaupus]

one more time going over my dad's lot in the Brickell area of Miami one mile south of the river. incredibly, after going over it exhaustively the last time there, I pulled out another IH, 1887, my oldest coin so far. [ed: oops, I made a mistake. it's an 1897, hard to read date. Not my oldest!] Finding coins from the 1800's in Miami Fl is no small trick. Also found a gilt Irish (npo, belfast) pendant, made in England. I believe it to be ca. 1920's. Except for some iron adhesions that i'm sure can be removed, it's in great shape. There are a lot of iron pipes and buried sprinklers underground and steel nails, I've been learning to tease out good signals from that mess. I've been digging every signal the last couple of hunts with my new Eagle Spectrum. Being able to change frequency to avoid interference was a god-send.







Found more cartridges, the .22 has the diamond Western headstamp, indicating made 1908 to 1926. also a 25-20 Western case. I think folks from nearby miami (1 mile north at that time) hunted this section a lot before it was subdivided in the 1920's. My dad's house built in 1925.




This little dimpled thing is a mystery. A misfired primer? The penny is for size.
