Went to a new spot that I drive by all the time , but never have hunted before. I found 1899 nickel , 1955 wheat , 1943 nickel , 1961 dime , and a few other newer coins. A silver bracelet with a 925 stamp on it , and a 1944 Tennessee rabies vaccination tag.

Nice Finds. I see the one on the left with the tapered end to it, and the handle on the top is a part to a whiskey drum valve. These go back to the 1700's. They were found on some sunken ships from that era.
 
WTG I really dig the bracelet.

Wow, cool finds! I believe I'd go back to that new spot today. ;D
 
Nice finds. The bullet looks like an Enfield.
 
Go get 'em Killer! :icon_pirat: Awesome bunch of finds! :thumbsup:

Nana~
 
Uh, just wondering what makes you think the bullet is Civil War? Most of the other stuff don't fit the era. Any measurements and weight of the bullet would be helpful, and is it lead or jacketed? Other than the questions, those are some great finds. Monty
 
Nice finds, bet you won't keep driving by that place again without getting out to do some diggin!
 
I know a lot about bullets in generel but not CW bullets. So if I have misspoke I apologize. It may well be a CW bullet, it just don't look like the ones I am accustomed to seening. Looks chewed on and I don't see any lube rings? Maybe it's just my eyes? Monty
