55 in February

[Fentonian]

Not too often have I had good enough weather in February to be be able to dig holes. Hit a couple early 1800s sites I had previously hunted to see if I left anything behind, surely I did I thought….
1827 large cent
1863 IHP (fatty)
1867 IHP
1873 IHP open 3 variety
1867 2 cent coin
1864 princess/shield civil war token
1863 DIX civil war token

Looking for information on the crystal gem. To me it meets all the criteria to be amethyst, found at a site that was occupied from 1811-1838. Hoping it is of that era.
Thanks for any info!

Those are some outstanding finds! Congrats on the coins, but I must say I love those tokens.
The wording on that DIX token is great.
"If anyone attempts to tear it down, shoot him on the spot"
We more of that today.
Glad you were able to get out in Feb. to detect.

looks like it might be the closed 3 on that 1973 Indian.
