"There's GOLD at that there farm!!!" 
I'm happier than a pig in mud with today's finds. I was searching the area again where I found previous CW items and the silver bracelet. I swung a lot slower this time and concentrated on a certain area. (Thanks Ridley)
In just a short time I found:
*What I think is an old handmade (?) gold bracelet. It has a design on the outside edge. I can see where it is stamped "14k" on the inside, but part of the "1" is barely noticeable. There are two small design marks to the right of the "14K". The "14K" looks like it was done by hand possibly, as it looks kind of primitive (not factory stamped).
I would love to find out any info on this piece. If you recall, I found a handmade silver bracelet in this area just last week.
*Another CW button. There is a design on the front, but I can't tell what it is?
My last two buttons were brass. Any idea what this one is, and can I clean it up somehow? I'd like to see if there are words on the backside.
*Another CW musket ball. Is "musket ball" correct on this, or is this a miniball? (I'm still learning this stuff)
*Some kind of metal clip that I swear I've seen similar ones on CW relic sites. It looks like the two ends connected at the silver tabs at one time? Any ideas on this one?
*Another buckle. CW era or farm?
*2 quarters and a penny by the driveway on my way out. Nothing old thought. Darn it.
Well, that's it for now.
Any ID's on some of these items would be a great help.
Thanks for looking,
MM
