Flying Eagle and Old Bling

[burlington]

These finds are from the same area over four different days of hunting. I do not know the history of this site, but there is a lot of jewlery coming out of the ground. Also finding Spencer Bullets, 3-Ringers, and Musket Balls.

To date the coins include a 1857 Flying Eagle (still needs cleaning) and 3 - V Nickles dated 1904, 1905, 1906 all from the same hole. The pocket watch has "Atlantis" on the face and stamped "Swiss Made" on the back. The broach with the chain was posted on this site a couple of weeks ago, the square shaped broach(?) was found yesterday. I have no idea what the large decorative item is. The graph paper is 4x4 or 1/4" per square for scale. The decorative item measures 2-3/4" x 4-3/4".

This property has been timbered in the past few years making the hunting very difficult, albiet rewarding. Some areas are so thick with new growth, you need to crawl on your needs to get through. Most of the targets are no more than 2" deep. I am excited everytime we make it out to this spot and dig every target! Thanks for reading and looking for any info about the jewlery and decorative item.

Come on Trace would ya leave some breadcrumbs for a feeble detectorist such as my self?
Good job buddy. BTW the last pic looks awfully like a powder flask of some sort? Just my opinion though. You might want to post pics of both sids and post on what is it forum. Hopefully if the warden is in a better mood than she is in now i'll beable to get out within the next few days.

Thanks Kuger,

I had hoped that it may be, but could not get information from my hunting buddies to support that claim. I intended to take it to the next club meeting to get more info. Learning about the finds are as exciting as finding them!
