A mixed bag at 1840s permission - old brassy 18k ring to boot.

Spent a couple of days at an 1840 permission site, first day was a wash in the yard around the house...fill dirt and crap. Second day focused on field behind the house in my quest for old dirt, hoping for a random drop find, and wasn't too disappointed. Faint scratchy signal, the kind I've dug a thousand times before only to get a nail or two pulled a Largie at around 10 inches down, some toys, including a tootie truck (no relic hunt is complete without one) and a Five Winders 80s mechanical car. 1929 cabi license, nice nickel size flat button w/design and a honker brass ring with 18k signa, probably was plated at one time and pretty old.
