Went out with Mastereagle a couple weeks ago and hunted some yards. There were 3 houses, most being built around 1900 to 1920 time period. I found a few things that I thought I would post.

Among the junk, I managed two rings, a watch?, clock key? and 1940's wheatie and crumbled MO Sales Tax Token. The one ring is a childs 'yellow painted' tin ring. I was stoked when I dug the large mens ring, but unfortunately, it is just a junk ring. No marks, and where the gold color is gone, you can tell its just a pot metal core. Looks flashy though.

I posted the "watch item" on the Whatz it forum. The back has constellation map showing the North Star, Big Dipper and Ursa Major. Was this maybe a wrist compass or something? I don't know. Anyway, here ya go.............

every time "out" is a good hunt......keep swinging
 

If that north star thing is magnetic, it couldn't be a compass.

Sometimes people point out not so obvious things that I should have thought of...... ::)

Seriously....good point. I will check that out.
 

losthunter, RTDE3, pl8man, ouachitacaveman, oldsalty and BosnMate~ Thanks all! I appreciate your comments. I had a great time.

fireman4you....I really liked the constellation piece too. I will probably keep it since I am into these unusual items.
