(**Video**) 19th Century Key Tags & an Indian!
Let's start with the video from a couple of days' worth of hunts ...

I went looking for a change of scenery on Sunday. Decided to hunt an old homestead on the family farm of one of my church members. I hadn't been there long before I dug a 1944 wheatie. That got me excited, knowing that silver has to be luring there somewhere.
A few minutes later, a well-meaning but uninformed relative of the land owner encouraged me to leave (pretty much ran me off). I didn't put up any fight ... just told her that it was no problem and that I would get everything cleared up. I made a call to my friend who rapidly ironed everything out. So, I'll be heading back there soon. No worries ...
Anyhow, I had about an hour before I had to be somewhere, so I went into town to hit an old lot that I hunted a year ago, but have not hit with my new MXT ... I wanted to dig those lower VDI singals. Just managed a wheat and a 1967 Lincoln.
Then, yesterday I returned to the site of my old hotel. Here are the highlights of those digs:
I dug two more of the key tags!! Rooms 26 & 50! That makes three that I have dug on the site. Pretty awesome. Seriously, though, when I saw that first big disc I thought I was on an old copper. But the key tags are an awesome find.
Another interesting find was an old Frankfort Arms .45 bullet ... not just the lead, but the fully encased, powdered and primed bullet. The head is marked, "FA 26." Any info on the approximate age of this pistol round would be most appreciated. Here's a close-up of the mark:
My final relic find was a 1920's era (time of the fire) "Pompeian Bloom" lady's rouge compact. It's still hinged, and the hinge (unbelievable) still works! It was full of crud, and the mirror was gone. But I still found it to be an interesting find.
Finally, just as I was about to leave, I got a solid 57 VDI "screwcap" signal. On that hill, this usually means an Indian Head penny. Turns out this mean, green 1892 Injun was my only coin find for the day:
Here's the total haul:
