I got permission to hunt at a site I had researched, from old maps, and photos, there used to be at least 6 houses here, the family came over from London, and built the first in 1852. A few of the foundations are still visible, and it is in the middle of some very dense underbrush, and there is SO much Iron everywhere, but we(my brother and I) did manage a few nice finds!!
An ornate lid, feels like lead, about the size of a silver dollar
An old pinfire shotgun shell head, says E b London 12 on it
A small flat button, still has some gold giltting on the back
A button with a Gazelle or Antelope? on the face, and the backstamp reads, Wadhams & Co.....Superfine!
A small silver ring with hearts on it. marked STERLING inside!
A jewelry piece with purple stones.....earing? part of a necklace?
A toy soldier, missing its head, marked made in England on the base
A medal, 1848-1898 Celebration Wisconsin Semi-Centenial, Madison Wi June 7-9 I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE!
A few coins too!
1872 Seated Liberty Dime, very worn and black
1893 O Barber Quarter
1898 Barber Quarter
1899 V Nickel
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!!

When I first saw the Wisconsin medal (awesome, by the way) I thought it was a U.S. Army military police badge. The eagle and general shape are very similar.
