So I took someone on a hunt to share the hobby. We did not find much except a few old nails and a lead bullet which the guest (who BTW was quite chatty and a bit zealous in digging which made me appreciate the solitude of woods hunting [emoji6]) was excited about so I hesitantly gave it up. Rain and lightning ended the short hunt.
Two days later I retreat to the woods in a new to me area and was thankful I consciously wore orange as I found 15 various lead bullets and brass shell casings-evidence of much hunting in the area now near a park.
I was also treated to an eye popping ring which must be a fake diamond in this brass ring. I later found a toasted buffalo nickel and a sweet silver mercury.
Other interesting finds included a skeleton type lock, an old looking iron, three prong fork (which electrolysis cleaned up nicely- he fork is broken from the handle so I was able to clean the broken prongs well! It looks rather old. I think I found a dog tag...not sure which war? There is also a hollow pointy brass piece with slight lines of design around it that I cannot figure out what it is...thinking something sword related or Indian tinkler
piece...but it could be something less interesting. Also found a mashed plate...tin? not sure..maybe just an old pie plate. 
Also found two axe heads...one looks like a Connecticut axe and I am not sure of the smaller one.
...and, of course, seems I always find a golf ball LOL!
Thanks for looking!
