Relics at the Wine Festival

[McCDig]

Had two disappointing hunts at Druid recently and just have to give that place a rest.

After a good day of work I headed out late to Rockfield Park in Bel Air where the Harford County Wine Festival was winding down.

Back in the woods, I went back to where I had found a button, large cent, and half cent. Today's results were very satisfying.

First target was a 'toasty' flat button, then came the 1901 Winchester Repeater head stamp. Next two targets were a musket ball and an ornately carved piece of brass. On my way out I dug a modern dime and then an older copper ring, that was likely gold-plated in its day. All-in-all an enjoyable two-hours hunt with some free music from the Wine Festival.

Hi CRUSADER! Do you have a picture of what it would look like complete? There's a hole through the thick part as shown in the photo.

Thanks dts! Hope you have some great finds this week, too.

Thanks Diggin Dude! I think this is my favorite kind of hunting! Good luck this week!

No need to have shown me the hole, I knew it was there from the first photo, its where the centre bar was held.

Can't find a match quickly, but it was shaped like the above.
