I only had about and hour and a half before it got dark, so i went to a farm field not to far from the house. There was some civil war action in the area and had a few mid 1800s homes on it at one time. I found a three ringer and a few other items. I also found miniature ships wheel made of brass and what i think is a buckle of some sort? I found the items in the same hole. The wheel also fits perfectly on top of it. I know that may sound far fetched. What do you all think it is? Thanks.
