Found these items relatively close together within an 8 foot radius. On a small knoll in a field near my house. My neighbor has brush hogged the field for the last 40 or so years. All items were no more than 2 or 3 inches down in Clay rocky soil. The coins date 1928, 1941, and 1945. From what I can find on the cartridge stamped U.S.C.CO. 38 S&W with an overlapping US on the primer. It's dating is anywhere from 1891-1917. The pocket watch piece is copper. So my question is anyone think theses are from the same drop or was this a popular spot to hang out back in the day. I searched the area for 20-30 minutes after my last find with only small iron signals. It hasn't rained for a couple weeks and the soil is very dry so when we get some rain I plan hitting this spot again. Also if anyone has more information on the cartridge as well as dating i would like to hear it. Thanks. HH!!!

.38 S&W was a favorite among detectives. Maybe dropped by a cop long ago. :thumbsup:
