Some finds from the last week or so. The 3 Merry Widows can was on my bucket-list,,, and so was the stirrup. I've also got my first ring for the year. It's a junker, but hey,, it's a ring.

Nice. I haven't seen any 3 merry widows posted about until I found one. Lol. I'm not trying to say I am the avant-garde or the trendsetter... but I could be? I just know mine rang like a lower mid tone and I knew it wasn't iron and near the lip at a cellar and I had the DD coil and I was sure gonna dig it as it wasn't iron and ever since I found one there have been a quite a few found. I can't tell you how many of those splitting wedges I have found. The number is prob up there to axe heads. Add another two axe heads to my count as of this Saturday. That's because I go to places that happen to have been logged often in the early 1900s apparently.
Nice finds ! People always get a kick when you show them your Merry Widows tins. I've had several folks say "they had condoms back then?"

Nice variety of finds. I've only seen a few stirrups come out of the ground and I've yet to dig one personally.
