Finally some Gold!

[chet470]

Was at a old house last weekend and finally broke the gold drought with a gold locket and a good rope pendant with a pearl. Unfortunately somewhere between the site and home a lost a golden eagle that was on the front of the golden locket. Landed some other goodies on this morning hunt. Also looks like a silver plated pocket watch pocket half unfortunately I hit it with my digger tool! I believe the one piece is the broken tip to a octagon gun barrel with the sight bent over. Belt buckle and ornate door latch I believe. First time I've seen an old aussie penny too. The bullets look to be possibly a mini ball and a fired musket ball, my 5th musket ball this year.
This was an exhausting dig I didn't even realize some of the cool finds until I got home and started cleaning things up.
