started the morning at a new colonial home i got permission from next town over and i think the yard was filled in as not to much stuff older than 1930's surfaced.thought i had a copper in the first pic but it's some lighter weight metal.not even copper.next we went to a resovoir about 20 min drive from my house.ron got a nice 10kt gold mason ring.i got squat.then we spotted a cellar hole on town land and stopped and hit it for awhile.branches were dropping from wind i was almost a casualty :mad: anyways not that great of a day.2 reindeer bells,i don't think they are crotal bells.these look like they were on a leather strap like reindeer bells.a cool brass handmade hook type thing?a small button.not sure what the brass backed colored flower thing-a-ma-jig is? this kinda cool chain came out near the cellar hole.any ideas guys? a old plumb bob and a small thimble.
ron got the find of the day that's for sure!wish i took a pic of it.maybe i'll snagg it when he posts and post it here.

Not a bad hunt... lots of different stuff. You should be able to open a flea market with all your finds lol That yard was probably filled in or had been cherry picked. But it's always nice to get out!!
