1870's era steel mill home. At one point it must have been owned by someone important. Now it's owned by a colleague who is planning on fixing it up. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1477346494.530389.jpg

I was at a job site with him last week and he mentioned his house and his project, I asked him if I could MD it and he said sure, but we would split the findings.
The ground was full of iron slag and there were power lines overhead, so isolating a good target was difficult, but my first diggable target was a 10k gold ring! ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1477346787.149249.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1477346800.700738.jpg
Over the next 4 hours I dig 5 wheats, 1919 oldest, some clad and other relics. No silver!!

If anyone has any idea what the relics are in the above 2 pics it would be appreciated.

Oh, the split was they got the ring and I got the rest.

His wife was very happy to have something she will cherish that has some history from her home.
