Howdy,
We had some cooler weather and recent rain go through, so I ventured out again this evening. Decided to try around where I found a gold ring last, and continue searching in Ferrous tones and nearly all metal. Managed a few more old goodies. A crushed thimble (has some writing around the band, but too far gone to make out). A child ring. A cuff link that has the clasp broken (but they were still together in the dirt). A really neat pin with a butterfly design on it (looks old, but no markings to help pinpoint it). Managed two nickels, one being a 1940 (the other was modern). And what I thought was going to be another Wheat, but turned out to be a crusty Indian Head cent when I got it washed off later (always a surprise when your find changes before your eyes).
Kind of an eclectic mix for the evening. I think the pin is my favorite. Too bad the Indian Head is toasted; it as good detail under the crud.
