    My last few hunts, silver & Indians

    These are my finds from my last three hunts. They were from three different locations two church sites and the picnic grove I've been hunting the last few years. The silvers are 56 Rosie and four Mercs 35, 40, 42 & 45. The Indians includes one of the oldest I've ever found 1865 and 1906. I also found 35 wheats. The relics include a pocket watch cover, crotal bell, small skeleton type key, a cast toy train car, a religious medal and some type of medal/token. If anyone has an idea of what it is, could you let me know. It is a little smaller than a quarter and made of brass.
