    The silver item most everyone thinks is a small decanter top of some sort. You can see other pics of it in the "What is it?" section.

    Last weekend I got 2 silvers dimes and the smallest sterling ring I have ever held. It barely fits on my 7 years old's pinky!

    The morels have been popping in my area the last couple weeks too. The kids and I like to hunt these guys too. Here is a pic of a nice spot I found that some of you guys may enjoy.

    Nice finds, Buck. That first item looks to me like an antique candle holder. Something like early 1900s. I may have more for a month, but you have 1000% more silver than I got in a month. Good you are getting out within the time constraints.
