Some of the guys in today's finds suggested I post this here. Here is a basic cut and paste from the other forum with my questions:
I thought this find was post worthy, b/c 2 of the items found are not metal. I recieved a faint signal at a local park. I dug down about 6" before my probe would sound off. I knew I had another couple inches, so I opened the hole up deeper, and flipped the dirt onto my drop cloth. The 2 marbles were sitting there staring at me. Another 1/2-1" and I had the Indian Head. I am assuming they were lost at the same moment, but I don't know much about marbles. Do the marbles fit the period of the 1902 Indian? Is this a plausible pocket spill judging by the contents? Thought someone might be interested to these items.
The rest of the hunt produced a 1907 V Nickle, a 1909 Wheat, and a pile of other wheaties I didn't really look at. No Silver!
Regards,
Jon Dickinson.
