I headed back out to my 1830 CW property again , and found a few goodies again. I gave the shadowbox of relics that I made to the owners. They LOVED it! They said they would be passing it down to their kids. It made me feel good to make the elderly couple happy.
I only searched the side yard and part of the flat field where I scored the Spanish piece a few weeks ago.
My very first signal out in the field was a ring! At first I thought it was a shotgun shell head because it was packed with dirt and solid. Once I popped out the dirt, I saw a split on the thin back area, thought "kids toy ring", and put it into my pouch. It wasn't until I got home and cleaned it that I realized it was some sort of Eagle military ring with gold gilt on it. Yaba-daba-doo!!!
I also found some CW bullets, a button, and a rusty oval shaped something?
On my way home I stopped by to get a bite to eat. The girl at the register was fumbling with making change because she had these two Ike dollars getting in her way. She had no idea what they even were.
I gladly took them off her hands. I know they are not silver, but I haven't seen ol' Ike in circulation for a loooooong time. 
My finds were:
*A military Eagle ring. I think it is made of copper and was covered with gold gilt.
CAN ANYONE ID THIS ONE? Could it be from the CW era since this in where a battle took place?
Help!
*An 1800's button with a faint back mark. It looks like possibly "PR?TIN" (not sure though)
*One smashed 3-ringer, and one CW bullet (?) that is the largest I've ever found. For size comparison I placed it next to a regular sized 3-ringer like I normally find.
Is this a CW bullet?
*A rusted oval looking piece that I'm hoping is a buckle. I have it in my "relic cooker" right now trying to get it clean. NO, the picture you see is NOT a piece of doo-doo!
*Also pictured are more of my rusty relics waiting to be cleaned up hopefully.
Thanks for looking Folks.
