There were five of us and every one found something of value mostly historic, lots of old ammo 45 40, 45 60, 45 70 and 45 90 some 38cal rim fire and some old pin fire ammo an old ox shoe took awhile to figure that one out, one piece of 3 color gold plated jewelry, two V nickles 1908-09 and one indian penny 1890 an old goodyear rubber company tag or buttom of some kind some old rivited butttons and a lid to a old dutch oven, also assorted other things yet to be identified Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
