A Crusty Gold Ring And A Few Other Goodies ...

[JimBeHuntin']

Got out to one of my old sites on Friday afternoon for a short hunt and finished up on Saturday morning ... Old home site now a farm field. I've hunted a colonial site on part of this site and through research discovered there were 2 more old homes that once stood in the field as well. Hope to find the other location on a return visit next week. Had a great time and found the following items: 5 wheat pennies, an old gold plated ring, Woodrow Wilson coin/token, 1949 rabies tag, couple of buckles, very nice old key, a thimble, and several more relics. Anyone have any ideas on the shield item?

Ya gotta love old home sites. Great variety there. Looking forward to seeing that shield ID'd.
Good luck on locating the other sites there.

Thanks for the reply Cool Hand Fluke ... Probably the most heavy duty skeleton key that I have ever dug!
