My oldest coin, bullets, & part of a pocket watch

[TFehrn]

Went to the park today, which was part of a fort a long time ago, and found a 1900 V-nickel in bad shape, pretty old for north Idaho though. My oldest coin by a couple of years. I wish it would have been a year older.

I also found some old cases and one complete with bullet. The complete one is a 45-70 from 5-1884 as an R and a F on it. the oldest has no visible primer dated 5-81 also R F. I have found lots of cases from the fort but very few complete shells. The other coin is a wheat that I can't read the date. The pocket watch back is an Arnold Adams. Also found a couple of bucks in clad and lots of trash.

Congrats on the great finds! Congrats on the oldest coin to date. I love the old bullets and casings! You have some great Frankford Arsenal casings (and bullet) there.
