Happy Holidays.
Here are the rest of the things I found the past month at an old home site.
Not shown are the nail, pieces of wire and other scrap metal I threw away.
I found these Items in 7 visits, around 2 hours a visit.
Enjoy and Thank you for looking

Here are 3 different size rings.

This one the rod with the gears was up against the center piece and there was metal around the outside but was so rusted it fell off in the cleaning. It might be a little music box.

Here some odd stuff. The rock I thought might be a spearhead, but someone said it could have been a hammer. There also a piece of rifle shell with Western 12 - 16 of it. A long piece of lead with hole through it and a couple small piece of lead, thinking they might be some bullets flatten.
misc.jpg
Some more odd stuff. A long nail or spike, shotgun shell end, part of a hinge, piece of melted lead or maybe it’s part of a silver bar from the war. LOL A dog bone looking piece and who knows what that thing was.

This is a metal latch and half of a shovel or spoon.

A Pepsi can from 1990 and I think something bearings was used with.

An odd shape big metal ring that has a flat spot on one side and probably bent from plow.

Look's like a good spot. :thumbsup: The thing that you thought was part of a music box is an oil lamp wick adjuster.

Keep digging, you never know. I see what looks like a small brass ring in your top picture. I found a bunch of those in a field all scattered and was not sure what they were, but they sure hit hard.

I plan on it. So far I was just digging the good signals mostly. As soon as it gets warmer again where I can dig again, I"m gonna start gridding it and digging everything. Hopefully get it done before they start planting. I found all three rings in different parts of the small area I've covered. The brass one was either in or around where the house was. I think it's to big for one of those brass rings from carney rides but might be off a bridle or saddle.
