I'll list three categories:

Coin

Relic

Jewelry

For coin, I'd say a Massachusetts shilling, I wouldn't care which one
For relic, a marked Rev War belt plate, I have found unmarked ones and Confederate plates over the last 40 years
For jewelry, a HUGE 14k heavy chain, all the ones I have found are little

And you?
 

Any colonial silver.
A whole sword or bayonet.
A Superbowl ring.
 

Cool question!

For coin I would say a Spanish silver of some sort (I know they aren't the absolute rarest or most valuable coins but you probably remember from my coppers to silvers thread that I really want to find one!)
For relic any rev war regimental button
I'm not much of a jewelry hunter but I guess I would really like to find a nice old silver brooch with turquoise or some other stone on it.

Any gold coin , Anything engraved with a pioneers name. Anything gold over 14K.I have found the lower Karats, nothing over 14K though.
 

us gold coin - I will be finding one in the 2020’s

Washington territory bottle - via metal cork plug part...

Jewelry ... a gold hometown class ring that I could return !
 

Coin would be a 1943 Bronze wheat penny
Relic would be anything from the Revolutionary war
Jewelry would have to be something marked Tiffany.
 

Coin: 1800's silver or gold coin (any will do)
Relic: Chinese opium bottle
Jewelry: Anything that says 18k or above
 

If we're being realistic.
Coin: A coin older than 300 years that is still legible
Relic: A sword
Jewelry: Anything Platinum
 

A ‘16 D merc in VF would brighten up my day.

A 19th century pontiled Bitters

A ‘honkin men’s gold 18kt diamond ring that fits me.

Just trying to be realistic here
