Hello from Ky. and I'm trying a picture for the first time. 
?I found these items over a few days of detecting at a couple of older homes in the area. ?The elephant is actually an old bottle opener. ?The knife has no discernable lettering to identify it. ?The handle of it is bone. ?Of course most of us with some time in the field have probably seen a few of the round makeup containers. ?The class ring is 10K, class of 1966. ?It is from Bedford? ?Anyone with a little knowledge of this emblem could be a real help 
. ?It has no initials to identify its owner. ?The far right ring says sterling and looks like a wedding band. ?The middle left ring is a child's silver ring and the other is a small 10K ring with three tiny diamonds (my 1st diamonds). ?The Jefferson nickel is a 44 silver war nickel (P). ?The V nickel is 1899 (my first) and has great detail. ?The Buffalo is 1918 and also my first. ?The Shield is an 1867 with rays. ?The 1853 Seated liberty dime (grades fine to very fine), the 1927 Mercury dime and the 69 caliber civil war bullet were all within 10 feet of each other. ?Four other dropped bullets 3-3 ringers and 1 cleaner were also very close and were found by a buddy. ?This yard is very close to the railroad tracks and just a few miles from Camp Nelson so it is our thinking that some soldiers may have camped there and used the powder from the bullets to start their fire. ?A small ring is carved around the top of the bullet. ?The 1929 Stone Mountain commemorative half dollar (grades extra fine) was a huge surprise and the 1944 Walking Liberty half was a great bonus from a very small yard. ?These have been over the past year. ?The nickels I've found look better if I touch them up with a small steel wool scrubbing. ?With the corrosion, they won't grade well anyway. ?Would a scanner or digital camera get the best results for display? ?This pic. is from a camera. ?Some other pictures didn't come out this well. ?
