    I found what looks like an old silver ring

    I went back to a woods I've been hunting in Battle Creek (about 20 miles away) and managed to find me some nice keepers. One of the Indians is in really in good shape and the ring is about the last thing that I found, in fact I was kind of meandering my way out of the woods and my truck was even in sight when I found it.

    Wow! What a bunch of really cool finds. I'm 1 month brand new to MD'ing. And this is my first time using a forum, so bare with me. What is that object with the blue and animal face on it, pictured near your ring? I found a similar object, but mine has orange where your blue is, and the face is of a bear. I also found a 1819 Large Cent Matron Head and a 1903 dime in the same field.

    They're Cub Scout uniform scarf 'slides' ---used to hold scarf around necks. I've done a few group hunts at boy scout camps and it's fun to find them, very abundant there of course

    Hate to be the only knucklehead commenting on the pulltab but that looks like a really old one. With the millions of pulltabs we have dug you would think one person would of put a collection together. Nice finds especially the ring. Wisconsin Digger
