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.

Nice Gold ring and large cent!

Nice going Merf ! It's not often you see a Large Copper and a Gold Ring on the same post. Those other Relics rate high in my book too

Great finds, you can't beat finding a large cent and gold ring in the same day. You still have a lot of area there to hunt.

Good fines............nice ring.

great ring, that's definately old. the acorn looks to be a drawer pull, is the hole threaded?

 

[crazyjarhead]

Sweet Largie, Merf and that ring is just fantastic. Wonder if that's as old as the site too??

 

[Merf]

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE REPLIES AND KIND WORDS

[WWace---The hole is not threaded---Looks like it was a post that was broken off.]

Merf, those are some great finds! I am VERY excited about the gold ring, since you find similar items out there to what we find here. It means that a solid gold piece of jewelry isn't out of the question for us. In terms of that acorn item, it is not a CW corps badge LOL. Lafatlife has the right idea, I think. I've seen all sorts of pewter decorations on bowls, steins, etc. From dogs to leaves and floral designs.

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

Cheers,


Buckles

Is the ring a two color gold? May be Black Hills. Nice, real nice.

The acorn piece is a drawer pull from the Victorian era. Victorian furniture used open face roses, leaves, fruits, and nuts as decor. The chest below has wooden drawer pulls, but they were also made in brass like yours.

All nice finds! Breezie
