Hobo camp yeilds best day ever! 2rings,bracelet, 6 tribe members 2 liberty's Upd

Well it was cold and muddy. But someone had to get out there today. Started at about 10:00 am . Started the day off with a seal of some sort . Being it is old I figured this had potential .
About 1 hour into hunt I got a band ring very dirty . looks like a wedding band . Fast and furious got a muti coin hit and pulled a liberty and 3 indians out of a small radius. none were touching. Then bang another ring . This I am sure is gold. Then like a mirror multi coin hit another liberty and 3 ih"s. The rings and coins were all within ten ' radius .
Then nothing for awhile At some point I started picking up buttons 7 to be exact
Then a very light bracelet very old . Letters are Telano :dontknow: Milk glass what it's rings .9 of them I think are what is left of a tent, A fork a game piece I think .
Update two libertys were1909, 1887 .One wheat 1910 5 indians two 1881 two 1889 ,1887 one ring is gold but not marked . The band is marked 18k but it will not shine Hmm and here are some of the better buttons large not marked .
My spidey sense says these coins and ring were stashed here . Will clean it all up . Here are the before pics. will update thanks for looking Rob. :coffee2:

awesome finds, my friend. I would love to see the button better. You might get better images outdoors in daylight. You might also want to check on the back of the camera for a button with a little flower "icon" next to it. Press that and you can take close-ups in focus.

I am living here in the Philippines and just started treasure hunting, to tell you I am digging for 32 feet we found a layer of cement from 26 feet and another layer at 31 depth. I need some from you or from friend any of you knew this sign... shall i procced or not . Thank you very much in advance .

Yeah I imagine It was not uncommon to have pick-pokets and other debouchry. Back in those days off the late 1800" To the turn of the century. Jmho " gangs of new York" was a true story! Rob :coffee2:
