1892 & 1902 Indian Head cent ~ small silver ring ~ silver sprue ~ toy

Ron and I took a little road trip up north from us to do some detecting today ~ we had a great time!! Ron dug a couple Merc dimes, a silver Rosie dime, wheats and clad. I didn't dig any silver coins today, but I did get a couple Indian Head cents ~ 1892 & 1902. I dug a little silver ring (3.6 grams) , five wheat cents, some clad, and a tootsie toy truck. The Indians are kinda ugly, so I took a close up pic of the date area so you can see them better.

One item I dug today I didn't know what it was, but Ron did! He told me it's a SPRUE ~ 12.6 grams of sterling silver! It's from casting silver jewelry.

I've dug 95 silver coins this year ~ I was hoping to get a little closer to my goal of 100, but it wasn't to be! Maybe next time!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Sorry you didn't find the silver this trip, Neil.
But you always manage to find other "treasures" that are worth seeing.
The IH's and the tootsie toy truck are cool finds.
I found one of those SPRUES some time ago, but had no idea what it was!!
Hope to tag along with you guys next time. Gold Nuggets

Nice job Neil, That "Sprue" thing is kinda cool. Strange digs right there. The Injuns are nice, whatever the condition. Goodluck on reaching 100 silvers.... jgas

I'd like to do some detecting in Salem ~ for some reason I've never done any detecting there! I'm sure there's good stuff to find!

Thanks ~ take care!
