the Indian is a 1867
the store advertisement token is 1863 from a druggist in belvidere Illinois
the arrow point and the tiny white button are eyeball's
also lots of chips and core's(?)
the musket ball is a HONKER and chewed in half
the larger flat one i believe was either a oops or a attempt at making a button
upon further inspection
i believe all the musket shoot to date found here is period for the area
was a button kind of day also and one still has gold guilt on it.......cool
also in my iron pile i believe i found a side plate for a pistol or rifle

I love my Tesoro Golden UMax, I think more than anything I just want to give the Troy detector a try and see the difference. I am actually eyeballing the Tesoro Vaquero, I have my eye on that one two.
I have read a lot of reviews on the Troy detectors and they seem very good.
Well that's all for now on this subject.
Let's go find some more coins.
