So I found a 925 silver ring in a big parking lot after I took the GRE this morning. So I'm counting it towards the silver streak haha. Went out to my wooded site and the targets were few and far between. Lots of headstamps and .22 bullets but I did pop out a penny. At the time I couldn't tell what it was but I figured it was a IHP. Got it home and cleaned it with a dry toothbrush an used a toothpick lightly to reveal it was a 1885 IHP! Then I found a button that was ringing up between a copper and gold/aluminum which I think might be pewter? Seems like its copper though. Im pretty sure its a button but it might not be since there is no shank. y'all tell me! Might need to start venturing farther into the woods to find more targets next time.
