I figured I would try a new spot today since the finds are so far apart in the fields I usually search. Definitely one of those careful-what-you-wish-for situations. On the 1850's maps it shows there used to be a house there, but for a couple decades it was a pasture and now more recently it's been overflow parking. During the two hours I amassed an impressive Tupperware of junk.

As well as a satisfying amount of clad coins, but not so much as a single wheat penny. I was literally sweeping the grass on the way to leave when I get the usual penny chirp. It was only a couple inches down so all I had to do was turn over the plug with the shovel and to my surprise out pops an 1884 seated liberty dime.

It's in great condition, but it was near some iron so there's rust deposited on the surface. I'm hoping to get that cleaned off though.

Reinvigorated I searched nearby and found that huge Miraculous Medal. It's not very old, but solid sterling so that's pretty cool. I also found a couple odd brass items and that teeny tiny ring in the last two photos. Has anyone seen a ring like that before?

First your religious medal is probably from the 40's maybe 50's. I find a lot of them underwater and Creed is a good solid name. I also would date the brass ring from the same time period. How many do you want? I find over a hundred a year with paste stones. It might be earlier. Does it have any identifying marks inside?

Your dime is awesome! Congrats on an oldie.

The ring has a tiny "U" with an arrow through it inside the band at the bottom. That's Uncas Manufacturing's hallmark isn't it?
