Meager finds at a woods site, IH, wheatie, ring, and a L

[treblehunter]

Went again today back to the spot I found my toy gun not too long ago. Oldjerseygirl went too and found a 1902 Indian Head Cent, a tag (posted on "what is it") and a wheat. I found a couple "what are they" and a ring that I just took out of distilled water, that has a 18K mark inside. It must of been plated, because I don't see no gold. Interesting none the less, sure would like to know what the deal was with the ring?? The other thing is a mystery to me also, warwick? Might be a tie clasp, a brooch. IDK? We might of found a good area finally out there. Acres big, in the woods, so its a time issue getting in the hunt before the ticks and chiggers make a comeback!

I have to wait at least till next week to hunt Brad, so I am definitely jealous, lol. Those old tags are so generic that there are probably many uses it could have seen. Looks like a lot of personal items, so I agree you just might have found a spot to keep you 2 busy for a bit.

I would never call an IH and a ring meager.

I wish I could have a meager day of an IH and a ring.....all I've found is clad and tons of tabs/broken bottle lids GL&HH

We will see, if it isn't frozen ground, it's ticks and chiggers, I'll take some more pix of the place tomorrow, darn pretty woods!

Sorry guys, believe me I'm grateful for those finds, compared to some of the stuff I see posted on this forum, they don't hold a candle. I was surprised to see a 18 K mark inside that ring. I really don't see any gold, had to of been plated. I was just talking to the owner, hopefully he will catch up with me tomorrow to show me a untouched spot on this 100 acres. Last year I got out there a little but I got side tracked looking for bottles. Now I'm sticking with just the metal detector.

Warwickshire is a landlocked non-metropolitan county in the West Midlands region of England. The county town is Warwick, although the largest town is Nuneaton. The county is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare and George Eliot. Wikipedia

Maybe something brought over from England, Brad.

Nice finds Brad! That place is bound to give up something killer before too much longer.

Daveoster beat me to the Laverne DeFazio joke, dang it!

This is what your item is : Royal Warwickshire Regiment Shoulder Title

The Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers, previously titled the 6th Regiment of Foot and The Royal Warwickshire Regiment, was an infantry regiment of the British Army. In 1968, it was absorbed, with the other Fusilier regiments, into the four-battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.

In 1832 the 6th became a Royal Regiment and their title was changed to The Royal (1st) Warwickshire Regiment. The 6th took part in the 7th and 8th Kaffir Wars in South Africa and received the Battle Honour South Africa 1846-7, 1851-2-3. Service on the North-West Frontier took place between 1849 and 1868. The Regimental Depot was established at Warwick in 1873 and following the 1880-1881 Childers Reforms, the regimental title became The Royal Warwickshire Regiment. The Birmingham Volunteer Rifle Corps was affiliated with the Regiment as its 1st Volunteer Battalion, becoming the 4th (TF) Bn/RWR under the Haldane Reforms in 1908. In 1898 the regiment fought at Atbara and Omdurman during Lord Kitchener’s reconquest of the Sudan and saw service in the Second Boer War at Johannesburg, Diamond Hill and Belfast.

During the First World War The Royal Warwickshire Regiment raised 30 battalions. Three of these, 14th, 15th and 16th (Service) Battalions, were raised in September 1914 from men volunteering in Birmingham. These units were additionally entitled 1st, 2nd and 3rd City of Birmingham Battalions, and were known as The Birmingham Pals.

The Regiment gained 80 Battle Honours. During 1914 battalions were present at Le Cateau, the Retreat from Mons, Nery, the Marne, the Aisne, Armentieres, Ypres, Langemarck, Gheluvelt and Neuve Chapelle. The following year opened with 2nd Ypres followed by St Julien, Frezenberg, Aubers, Festubert, Bellwarde and Loos. During 1916 battalions were at Mount Sorrel, the Somme, Albert Canal, Bazentin, Delville Wood and a number of other engagements including Thiepval. The big battles of 1917 saw battalions in action at Arras, Vimy, 3rd Ypres, Menin Road, Passchendaele and Cambrai.

The Somme, Amas, Lys and the Hindenburg Line were among numerous actions which involved the 6th in 1918. In addition to the Western Front, battalions of the 6th also saw action in Italy 1917-1918, at Gallipoli 1915-1916, Mesopotamia 1916-1917 and Persia 1916-1919, where they formed part of the Dunsterforce and participated in the Battle of Baku. The Royal Warwickshire Regiment won six Victoria Crosses during the First World War.

After service 1937-1940 on the North West Frontier of India, the 6th were with the British Expeditionary Force in Belgium and France 1939-1940, fighting at the defence of the Escaut, Wormhoudt, where some suffered the Wormhoudt massacre, and on the Ypres-Comines Canal. After Dunkirk, men of the 6th landed on D Day on 6 June 1944 with the first assault on the Normandy beaches and fought from Caen and the break out from Normandy to the Rhine crossing. They took part in the capture of Bremen, the last major action of the European war. During 1942-1945 battalions of the 6th fought in Burma and took part in the capture of Rangoon.
