Not a bad day in the woods today. My first decent find was a toasted IHC that was a good 7 inches down. Couldn't read the date, so I cleaned it up with hydrogen peroxide when I got home. It ended up being from 1882 and not in bad condition at all.

Second find was a very tiny brass shoe buckle tongue and chape. This boy is really small! Only measures 1 by 1 1/2 inches. I took a picture of another tongue and chape I found a few weeks back to show how small it is.

Last find was dug up a couple of days ago, but I forgot all about it. It's a broken watch key. Cleaned it with naval jelly to reveal a little gold gilt still on it. Not sure how old, but it must be pre-1900.

Here's a few pics:

Nice variety of finds. Like the watch key also. Congrats
 

Nice relics
 

Thanks, guys! That IHC was the 11th one I've found at this spot, my personal record for one location. Never found a silver coin there, though. There has to be at least one 1800's silver at this spot and I'm going to find it eventually! LOL!
