1837 Hard Times Token, Key Date Indian Head (1872), Gold class ring from 1957

[Evolution]

Got out for my first hunt of the year today with my buddy FatTony315. We started with a hike through the woods to get to a foundation site. Not much success there, only found one button. Our second site of the day was a foundation on the edge of a cornfield so the hunting was pretty easy compared to the earlier hike/woods foundation site. Made a few good finds here, starting with a very good condition key date 1872 indian head cent.



Kept hunting and was turning up most of the usual suspects for sites of this age, suspender clips, a button, pieces of buckles, a musketball, and then I got a solid signal that read very low on my detector. It was reading at 15/16 consistently on my detector so i decided to dig it. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a gold class ring from 1957.





Moved down the hill toward the creek behind the foundation site and had a nice solid +73 hit on the VX3. Dug a nice large copper coin at about 4 inches deep. After a little cleaning it turns out to be an 1837 Hard Times Token (Millions For Defence Not One Cent For Tribute)





Here's a compilation pic of today"s finds.



And the junk.
