    1800's relics , silver , early wheat cent and ring #30 . lots of pic's

    Now today is the kind of hunt I love ! All sorts of finds . The school I hunted is in an old area and I believe a ranch was on the site long ago . Over the years I have found many early items out in the soccer field , all around 7-9 inches deep . Today's finds were two spoons , the large one is plated and dated 1847 Rodgers Brothers and the other I believe is sterling . The other dated find I have is a guarder clip with the PAT date of 1/28/1890 and 12/31/1895 . As for the coins today I found one silver a 1964D Rosie , two wheats 1915S and a 1952S . I think The 1915 is a key date . The other coin is a no date Buffalo . Last but not least I had to find a ring . It's a nice little CTR sterling silver one , #30 for the year . Lots of other cool old items also pictured . Total clad for 3 hours was $4.94 .

    Nice score on that wheatie. Looks like it could clean up nice and has little wear. Worth a "pretty penny" too, $20 plus!
