Gold Ring, Large Copper, and a whatzit

[Merf]

I hunted an 1870s field site today and got lucky.
It was chisel plowed and a little hard to hunt.
I hunted for an hour and was just getting iron signals when I got a good solid 80 on the F 70.
Dug down 6 inched and found the 1856 LC.
Found the pewter Whatzit about 5 minutes later.
I hunted another hour and was about to leave when I got a solid 40 signal.
I thought prolly a tab top but when I hunt these old sites I dig everything non ferrous.
Found this ring down about 2 inches and tangled in the corn roots. It is worn thin and has no Karat markings. Prolly wore off.
What a thrill.
Thanks for looking and best luck my friends.

Merf,
You Sir have some great fields up your way. Even golden corn. Excellent find.
It all looks great. That field goes on forever.
Congrats,

Beautiful finds. The acorn things could have been a decoration attached to a bowl or something.

Nice finds.

I'm thinking that the ring might not have had a karat marking in it.. I don't think the 1800's rings had to have a Karat mark in them...

Is the acorn possibly for that Union Regiment, that fought in the Civil War? The name of the Regiment escapes me. Nice finds ...........Hogge
