Found a couple cribbing spikes, square head nail, ring, broken up utility knife, car window handle, dresser drawer handle, assorted busted up brackets, a .22 rimfire casing, and a LOT of tin cans.

Not sure if the casing is Winchester.

oh, and a Seagull wing. LOL

Sure looks like a Winchester "W". The finds show that your detector is working and you know how to operate it. More interesting finds will come on other sites, I expect.

Thanks.

At least my daughter and I were good stewards of the environment and hauled a lot of trash out. The window handle cracked me up. It was about 7" in sod.

So, the ring is marked Avon, sterling silver. It's a skeleton key ring from 1976.

Neat ring. Are you sure it's silver?

Its stamped sterling on the inside. Also has an Avon stamp.

Just like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1253851054...a7d755&gclid=6ecdefb92f201ab0e429881339a7d755

Cool. The color threw me off, but I guess that's just the way it was finished. Neat find.

I thought it was brass at first. Then when I cleaned it up and read the stamps, I was a bit surprised.

Tracked down the car window crank. I was able to locate a part number. It's from a 1968 Ford Grand Torino Cobra.

I assuming the dresser handle is from the same time frame. I wonder if there was a swap meet or flea market in the location eons ago.
