Went to rd tear out abt 45 minutes away today. Fought through the rain/hail storm but was reworded with all this. Wasn't expecting to find a pistol, marbles and arrowheads while looking for old coins which are old. Worked the area very hard and trying not to fall down in the same time.
The pistol was found on a vacant lot near by which the house ether burnt down or was condemned a while back. Ran serial number ,gun was clean. Coins and marbles and arrowheads where scattered around the tear out sight. I knew the area was old but wow.
Pistol 9mm Biretta
1853 qrtr
1912-D dime
1864 2 cent which I over cleaned
Lots of arrowheads
1920 penny

Awesome finds! Congrats on your silver and the gun is really cool! You got some of everything!
I'm still looking for my first arrow head, I've probably past right over many of them and didn't see them.

Those are very nice finds. Some real old stuff there. Be fun to get an age on those arrowheads. That poor 9mm has seen better days. Glad to see you out hunting and posting. Where have you been?

Great hunt, great finds. How deep was the handgun. I found one but it was on top and a cap gun.

Hand gun wasn't deep mostly on surface. Arrowheads where mixed in with rock but the rain help cleaned them off. Very muddy conditions but well worth it.
