So...not much by most standards but a couple cool things. The remnants of this ring look just like lead to me, if you can tell in the pics please let me know what you think. The vintage spoon bowl is cool enough but the punched out heart makes it really cool to me. The button looks like it has a maltese cross on it, hard to tell I know. The silver I found was a '20 Mercury Dime and of course I forget to put it in the pic, nothing special though, pretty worn. The crushed cup say "Frankfort's Distillers, Louisville, Baltimore MD" I can't make out the rest. 114_0883.webp114_0885.webp114_0886.webp114_0884.webp114_0887.webp

Lead wouldn't make a very good ring, but pewter would for awhile., Cool stuff !
 

Yeah I know lead would be terrible, but I did a google search and it seems like some older ones were made.
 

Congrats on digging those unique finds Q.:occasion14: How long did you hunt?
 

Today was the first time I was able to be out for more than an hour and got the lead(?) ring, crushed cup, D charm, and plain button in the pics, and 13 clad coins, '49 nickel the oldest. The other stuff came in hunts over the last three weeks, managed a couple things each time. My son is doing better and back to work so I should be able to get out more now, can't wait to get some serious time in.
 

NICE UNCH OF FINDS.
