These finds are not from one hunt - more like the last six or seven hunts.
As always, sorry about the low grade Cell Phone photo.

1828 - Large Cent
1865 - 1890 - 1901 - Indian Cents
1909 - Wheat Cent (also found 6 or 8 other Wheat's - but this is a nice first year example)
1919 - Mercury Dime
1947 - 1964 - Silver Roosevelt Dimes
1943 S - Silver War Nickel

Men's Necklace - Solid Sterling Silver - Stamped - .925 - Italy (weighs 50 grams = 1.6 oz.)
Gold Plated Ring - F.O.E with Eagle (Fraternal Order of Eagles)
Brooch / Pin Back - with Cross (low quality)
Small Ring - Silver Plated (low quality)
Cuff Link - Gold Plated - (pin on back broken off)
Small Charm - Christmas Candles - (low quality)

Saved the best for last - a rotted out - no date - Zinc Penny.
The future of coin hunting in this hobby looks pretty bad ! :BangHead:

Good Hunting !

Nice finds!

The distant future of coin hunting in this hobby looks pretty bleak ! :BangHead:
You got that right. I guess at least they won't be digging up the zinc pennies because they will all have rotted by then. Who knows what they'll replace them with next that is even more worthless.

If there are any coins in the future they will probably be made out of Plastic !
Finding a 1982 or earlier Copper Lincoln Cent will be like us Wheat Cents today.

Yes. Electronic Currency will be next, after cash is completely eliminated.

Awesome!!! Congrats!!!
 

Well, car keys are disappearing, coins will soon and I’m seeing a lot of those “silicone/rubber wedding rings, so that leaves pull tabs, can slaw and nails. 💔
Yes, the quality of everything being manufactured is getting worse every year !
 

Nice finds. I especially like seeing the large cent. Looks like you have been busy. Congrats!
Yes, Large Cents are always a great find - I've been lucky enough to dig five so far this year.

Slowly a few small hunts turn into a respectable gathering of keepers-(even that zinc one.:laughing7:)

I have an old pint sealer that's filling up with them, just looked the other day and thought that's one ugly looking finds jar.
