Found a really great new site to hunt, and I think it's virgin territory! Only managed to hunt there for about an hour, but the results were very pleasing:
Some of the finds: (there were many more but these are some that stood out)
One of the first significant finds of the hunt, a sterling silver Virgin Mary medallion:
The second significant find of the hunt, a 1909 Lincoln Cent, first year of issue, the Indian Head was phased out the same year.
This was the very first US coin to depict an actual once-living person on it:
An old 19th century brass lock with its key still in it. Maybe from a treasure chest
An old change dispenser with a sliver Mercury Dime still inside. It has actually concreted into the rust, so cool, this was a first
I found this lever from a lever-action rifle, and then I found an old .30 cal shell 6 inches away.
I have concluded that it can't be a coincidence, but I couldn't locate any other pieces of rifle
