Got permission for a new, old home site. Found an old map and it appears to be early 1800’s but also had a dwelling there in the mid 20th. With that said there’s a lot of junk to get around.

Few pieces I have identified but some may need to go over to the What Is It side.

The arrow head necklace appears to be from the JB Ford Co. Some type of advertisement piece. I’ve found sites dating it around early 20th century, latest 1930.

VDI shows 84 on surface.

The button reads “Sweet ORR. Appears to be an overall button and/or railroad related. Probably early 20th century

The wheel piece is odd. I haven’t seen one of these. Appears to contain copper with a slight green patina. Any ideas? Sewing piece?

VDI reads 47 above ground.

The ring was found very near the old 19th century house foundation. Near an old large tree.

Definitely appears to be an old wedding band. I assume brass

Not sure what the tube is. Appears to be copper or brass and maybe was made into the tube shape. Has a textured grip in the middle. Not sure if it’s modern or old.
