You got all kinds of neat things, not the least of which is that half dime ! Love to find one of those myself. WTG!

You may have come upon a Civil War camp site, or close to one. Those are reflective of the artifacts that we used to find in the cane fields around Donaldsonville and surrounding area.

Great finds! Could you put something next to that cross so we can get a representation of its size? What type of material is it? Great hunts!

Nice Half Dime & Cross.

Thanks for all of the comments guys. I have some stuff showing in the What's it thread if you want to eyeball it. Wildwild Bill, The cross is 1.75 x 1 inch. Maybe silver plated. We think there was a camp there but years of plowing spread it. Roceda, River Road is still fruitfull.

Nice finds!

That was my first and I wasn't sure what it was because of the soil, but my buddy knew right away. Exciting.
