Been doing it for a while lately.
Just modern coins, old iron, cool ring I wear now.
Yesterday though was a find of a lifetime.
Found a Confederate Infantry Button. Lots of activity in Hays county back during the Civil War. Took it to get looked at an Authenticated real.
Here are pics from Google what it looks like. Mine is not in this condition though but able to see the Limerick, design and Infantry "I" on the face of the button.

Front
Also near where I found it I found a hunk of melted lead and a small Cork bottle.
Here is the History of the Limerick Clothing Company out of Ireland which sold the Confederates their uniforms. Ran blockades to get to the Confederates.
