Since i'm new to the forum, thought i'd share some of my finds since i got my v3 i in april.

The 14k gold class ring was found behind my house, on an empty lot, unfortunately no school name only the school mascot name. I checked the local area and the mascot is not listed anywhere.

The dime looks like it was shot by a pellet gun or .22 has quite the prounced indention.
Clad 1/2 dollar was hit by lawnmower before it moved to the 4" depth.

The 1901 merc dime and round ball was found on a friends ppty in florissant, co a month ago on vacation. The was on a hillside between a couple small pines. it was an odd spot....who knows.

The little gun rings in at a quarter, found in backyard with my idx, the .22 bullets were found behind the house on a little slope, adject to a church. The other bullets i found on our land in southern colorado south of pagosa springs.. image.webp
Hopefully i attached my 1 st pic correctly.

Nice finds nmdsrtrat. Thanks for sharing...
 

What year and mint is that nickel? I love that Barber, I'm glad that didn't get shot! Nice finds, I would love to find one of those Barbers. Congrats!

The nickel is a 1945.

Should be a war nickel then. Check for the mint mark above the Monticello. 35% silver and always exciting for me.
