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)

number 7 pic, is a old wall mount gas lamp holder.. i have a one... late 1800s.. nice finds.. MR TUFF

I thought it might be a part of an ornate hinge due to the pin on the one side. Do you have a picture of yours I could compare?

Some nice shots of the coin box and close up of the coin would be nice. Looks like a good quality coin in that box.
