My girlfriends dad bought a metal detector to find a ring he had lost. He wasn't having any luck using it, so she asked if I would help him out a bit. It didn't help that the machine he bought was a piece of junk, and would only detect a coin laying on the surface. I swept mine over the yard, and started digging up the usual hundred year old house junk, so I switched to coins mode. The first target I got was this.
The next one I got was a clad dime, and then it was too dark to see, so we decided it was time for a beer.
The next day, I went to a gun show, and it was almost empty of buyers, with 900 tables of sellers. One had a breast plate, button, 5 .44 pistol bullets, and an original cartridge box in a nice little display, and made me an deal I couldn't refuse, so here they are. I took them out of the case for photo purposes. Two of the bullets still had some of the paper attached. The breast plate had the hooks broken off of the back. Not sure why, unless the old guy did it so it would fit flat in the case
The missing ring was located....inside the house
