Military academy finds !!!~New pictures of cleaned items~!!!

[SkyPirate]

I got out with a few of the fellas from the club today. We had permission to detect the site of an old military academy that dates back to 1860's. A few of the guys found some buttons, buckles and coins. John found this cool little box with a walking liberty in it, I found some kind of button, and a 1908 Barber half dollar. I also found some harmonica reeds, a marble, a cool Ball glass jar and some assorted iron. It was a great day for detecting!

I cleaned some of the items today. The one looks like some kind of ornate hinge, a broken number "1", a handle to a fireplace poker? and a 5 pound 9 ounce piece of iron. (looks like half of a brick)

Great finds... I KNEW I should have that joined the club. Not too late, I guess, but the last I knew, the club couldn't get permission to hunt the academy. One of the club members must have done a heck of a job to get permission after all.
