Default Friday 11/9 Finds...

Well, I took the day off so that I could have a long weekend for Veterans Day! By the way, thanks to all my fellow Veterans and have a wonderful day!
I went out this morning with one thing on my mind, that was to find Silver! Well, the rain, freezing cold could not keep me from my appointed rounds. I headed back out to Ashburn Park, the one that use to be an old farm, also the same place where I found the Model T hubcap.
I came away, after an all day hunt with a personal best of 36 coins which included my first SILVER, a 1907 Barber Quarter! Yeah, I am the man!!!! I was and still am psyched by it, I spent all summer looking for my first silver, I landed it on the coldest day of fall so far. I also picked up a couple of other goodies.

The first pic is all my day's finds! The large ring is brass and is shaped a little funny, can't figure it out. The large round piece is about the size of a half dollar, found it near the remanants of the old out building-circa early 1700's- It made the ACE sing like a choir. Still not sure what it is. The very old buckle. Of course all the clad, 3 q, 3 dimes, 3 nickles, 26 pennies, (32 cents in one pocket spill).
The second pic is a picture of the 1907 barber.
The third pic is a girls ring, no markings possibly silver plated, with a purple colored stone in it.
The fourth pic a possible silver piece appears to be a wolf, no markings. The last pic is of the lucky penny that has been rolled flat with the words - Good Luck Penny, and a horse shoe and clover appear on it.

Thanks for looking!!
