The silver keeps coming. Found the Merc(1943) and the nickle(1940) where I've been finding the rest of the older coins. Finally found the late 1800's house. Unfortunately it had burned down, been bulldozed, pushed into a pile, and now being used as a modern dump site. Loads of trash targets. I did find the thing that resembles a ring at the site. Probably some sort of washer. It's made of copper and hollow. Not flat like a typical washer. I also found the spoon on the same site just sticking out of one of the walls that lined the creek behind the house. Can't get enough of the old stone work. I also found the dog tag and rivet near the old horse barn adjacent to the old house.

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Great digs once again, congrats!
I think your 'ring' is a spark plug washer. I find those all the time at the old dump I hunt. They sure ring up nice!
 

If I remember your posts right, didn’t your day 1 post say you had found your very first silver ever? Now you’ve found silver 5/6 days at this site? Just goes to show location is everything! Congratulations on some excellent finds. Get in there while you still can!
