[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Roger(rebel) picked me up at 6am.headed to some sites.day was going good.snappin pics on site.get home unload everything out of his car.get in the house.NO CAMERA my case musta slipped off my belt when i unclipped on side of the road.didn't hear it hit the ground.so.. no site pics and no just dug pics sorry
but,other than that ..had a great day! a hallmarked sterling spoon,a silver monogrammed watch winder? i beleive thats what it is?
a nice 1864-L indian head penny.
and this piece of cast ingot? it's not lead! it's way harder than lead.i know how soft lead is.i could barely scrape it rubbing a screwdriver into it.could it be silver? i doubt it... but, what's this doing at a cellar hole?
had a blast Rog thanks!

When I was a kid we had a block just like that and it was Zinc. Just a suggestion.
Love the spoon, all the ones I find are just plated.

Wildcat

could be zinc too.would they have ingots of zinc in the 1830's?

Nice finds for sure man.

The silver intial item is nice. Looks like a clock winder or something like that.
