4 crusty wheaties and a 1888 seated dime today!

[Oldrvrrat57]

I was headed to the site that I recovered the 4 shield nickels last week but decided to park in a different area and glad I did. When I got out of my truck and started out into the field when I noticed pieces of crockery and stone scattered on the ground and changed my mind and started swinging! Ended up with 4 wheats 1916,1924,1912 and one I can't make out. The seated dime was pretty shallow and is a Philly mint. Also got a 1893 nickel that has a penny fused to it by a fire I'm suspecting. Another ring marked 18k but is brass, a really small marble and some other relics.

Nice finds! Is it common to see a brass ring marked 18k?

This is the 4th one that I've recovered on old home sites in the last 10 or 12 years.
