I have been out detecting recently but the old coins have eluded me. I have made a few relic finds though. I think this is my first relic section post! Woohoo!
I took a buddy of mine to a field site last weekend. I got a few wheat pennies and my buddy got a nice indian from 1890. It was nice to see him find an old one. I hit this spot with my son last year and we found 3 marbles on the surface. This time I found 7 of them!! kinda cool! The home site was occupied until the 1960's so some of these probably are not that old.

Last night I hit some city owned lots where homes once stood. I did not find much but I did find the back of a silver pocket watch. I thought it was just another "house part" but as I rubbed the dirt off I thought I saw a hallmark. The other side is completely smooth. I am not sure who the maker was but it is silver which made my hunt.

Below is a pic of what I think is a shoe buckle frame. It is about 4 inches long. What do you experts think? I found it about 4 years ago in a park that dates to the 1930's but the area has history dating back to the 1700's.
