At the same school where I found my first Indian head penny, I've had some good luck with relics as well. There must've been good hunting, or a shooting range on the school property because I've dug a lot modern small caliber bullets as seen in the top row. I've also dug numerous shotgun shell hulls from the late 1890's thru the late 1920's as well. Anyway...In the top row are the modern small cal bullets. Second row are the older goodies. In later pics you can see the measurements. Third and Fourth row are buttons, a ring and some kind of ornate what's it? Not sure what the buttons come from, but they're all flat with nothing really on the front. On the back of one, shown in close up, it says, "LONDON DOUHLE QUALITY". Does anyone know what that means? Anyway...I had a blast digging these up. Enjoy the pics and as always, Happy Hunting!
