I was able to get out this afternoon in the New Bern and came out with one of my best days.
I don't think I'll be able to pull a date from the large cent. I have it soaking in Olive Oil right now. The dime is 1944. Not sure what the flower looking item is. bottom row - cow chewed minie, CS Shotgun slug. Possible gardner (I think. if so that is my first!) Not sure what type of bullet on the far right bottom right.

Nice finds. Congrats. HH......
 
Great stuff. That definitely looks like a variation .577 Gardner. The slug size I'm not sure about and the smaller far right one looks like about a .52 picket rifle round.
 
Cool Stuff, you must have found a nice sweet spot, my spot behind the dealership is all dryed up! I'm working on putting together a county sponsored archelogical dig at a local plantation. You interested? Of course all the finds would end up with the museum.

Semper Fi,

Nice CW finds, Wobax. I thought that you might be in the Corps, or was in the Corps. New Bern is my old stomping grounds while in Jacksonville, NC. Miss that place. Hope that LC cleans up good for ya. Semper Fi Ron
