FIELD GOLD

[artyfacts]

Hunted a old field I use to hit that was just turned. I walked to the corner of the field were I had dug a trime, and a few buttons. First few steps I get a signal and out pops this little 14K gold ring. All I could think of looking at the initials (CS) on the face and a bunch of writing around the intials was Confederate States . The ring has the initials, A. F. in a fancy script on the inside. After placing it on what is it, Brianhashemi found that it could be fraternal from the Knights of Columbus. Also known as the, Columbian Squires a Catholic fraternity that used the slogan, For God And Country. One of the buttons dug had a back mark of a Joseph Mann No. 1. The company dates from 1800 to 1840. A shield nickel, hem weight, key, 7 buttons and littles. The shell casing has WRA 50.70 around the primer.

That's a lovely ring! I find it amazing how things like that can be lost in what is now nothing more than a field, for sure it was more than a field at some point. Are there any trees close to the general area of your finds, I'd check around those as well...............63kpkr

There is a house across the street of the field I'm working that dates back to the 1600's. Nothing from the 17th or even the 18th century has shown itself.

Not sure, they are grommets for leather. I think they are possibly horse related.
