Once the water on the lake reversed a bit I went back out. Lots of glass, wooden handle screw driver, bullet casing, those pencil tops without erasers and this ring which I presume was plated because it's still has some gold color on the inside. I'm guessing the Burnham tag was some sort of key ring, maybe for a boat? Some green coins, but the silver eluded me again today. Thanks for looking!

nice finds!..key ring looks like a old hotel ring to me..
 

I think you might be right, there is a Burnham hotel here that was built back in 1895. Thanks for the lead! I guess it could date anywhere from 1900-1990?

Here is a real Chicago Saturday night special!

I'm going with its Capones bullet and then he dropped his hotel key fleeing from the scene!

Its the only thing that makes sense to me ! Cool finds
 

Cool bunch of finds.
 

Nice finds! The marble looks older. My probe looks like the cousin to that Philips screw driver.
Capone's bullet and hotel key, sounds good to me! Who knows you could be right!
