Hello forumites,
It's been a while since I last posted. Been trying to let my finds build up, but as you can see, the silver is getting real stingy in my area; one here, one there. But I did make some other interesting finds while looking for the deepies.
The watch was quite a surprise at 1" under the surface. It's an antique ladies pocket watch (Molly Stark model), made by Hampden Watch Co., which was making watches here in the US between 1877-1930. It's gold filled with 7 jewels, and the serial # inside dates it's creation to 1911-1912.
The token is an advertising spinner token for an old brand of straight bourbon whiskey, Park & Tilford, circa early 20th century.
Some other finds are an old key, some cool buttons, which still have gilt on them. One button has the picture of Queen Elizabeth on it. The large coin is a 1933 Austrailian large cent, which was holed on the top, probably worn as a pendant. Not pictured, are about 30 wheaties, which I dug last week.
Hope to find some new places which have been un'Explored soon.
Thanks for looking,

But, Zoy, Silver Zeus, and I have been finding some great sites via ra-search. We just need to wait for Spring now. 
We will be finding some nice coins again this year.
Maybe that's because you dug every buried piece of silver last year
