1803 & 1850 Large Cents, Five Silver, Victorian (?) Jewelry for Skunemonk

Skunkemonk has been on fire lately...today, most recently, I took him to this old site by a creek/pond but I was too busy with work so I couldn't detect. I check back in 30 minutes he already has 3 silver...an hour later he has 3 silver quarters and two Mercs (photo below)...This is a virgin area for sure and we'll be going back this weekend if not sooner. He also found a bunch of wheats there. Going back a few days we were at a different area of the same property, which goes back to Rev War era. He got these two cool pieces of jewelry that don't look valuable but seem old. One is a braclet with little "diamonds" only one is left and the rest are holes you can see...and the other is a brooch or pin with a flower...then we were about to leave, which is always when good things happen, and bingo, he gets a 1803 LC at just a couple inches. Also pictured is a 1850 LC he got at another place on a trip before that...thanks to our friend Earthworks for the photos...what about my ink well and musketball dude?

Nice diggs! I would love to get an early large cent eventually. That one looks like it might clean up decent.
