Well gold plate anyway. You know its tough going when I have to resort to trickery. Found very worn gold plated wedding band. No markings I was hoping to be able to link it to the original family that live on this land. But Ive determined buy all the harmonica reeds Ive found that this land was also a camp, most likely for turpentine workers. So no way of really knowing who it belonged to.

The only aluminum lid that Ive found not completely shredded by the farm equipment. It reads IODEX THE OINTMENT CONTANING IODINE. I looked it up and there still in business today. Started in 1910. The other piece to me looks like something leather laces would go through on a saddle or chaps.

As for the rest mostly more of the same. Pocket knifes, harmonica parts, few buckles and buttons. one unfired REM-UMC 380 round circa 1911-1930. The large rifle casings is a little out of the norm. Notice how it necks down twice. Reads LC68 on the bottom witch stands for Lake City 1968. The peanut field was not giving up to much in the was of coins today. The total was, a 72 dime, 65 memorial, 36 and 54 wheatys. As always thanks for taking the time to have a look.

Hey, gold-plated is better than nothing!!! I like your finds.
 

Nice finds! I think the large rifle casing is a blank. It looks like the type they fire at military funerals. Also the larger brass buckle looks to be military as well, probably WWI era.

A zesty batch of finds!!!
 

Nice ring and bunch of relics you found there.

Nice finds. Kinda weird finding that LC68. I found the same exact one today.At a church no less. Mine had the top part bent to a right angle. It went in the trash pouch.
Good Luck, Mike in NJ
