Dug from a home built in the early 1900s. I thought the rings were silver when I first popped them out of the ground, but I now thing they're aluminum or maybe zinc. They feel pretty cheap and the hoops are badly corroded and falling apart. Not sure how old they are, but they both have the words "Hong Kong" stamped on the hoop. The Shotgun shell base reads "Peters Target No. 12" and is missing the primer, which I thought was interesting. No idea what that piece with a diamond shape in the center is. It rang on the machine like a nickel or ring. Also some wheat pennies. No silvers though. Oh well.
