I Found A Relic Dump In The Woods

I decided to hunt the woods of the property where I work.  I’ve probably mentioned this before, but the property dates back to the early 1900s as a resort/vacation destination for folks coming up from the lowcountry area of South Carolina to the higher, cooler mountain air of the NC mountains.  I was hitting the occasional shotgun headstamp when I came upon an area with a ton of iron signals.  

The old lock was about 12” deep and was ringing up like a silver half.  Also found were two old pocket knives, part of a kerosene lamp, a button (probably from bib coveralls), various shot shell headstamps, a junk ring (probably more modern than the other finds as this area is pretty close to a walking trail), a clad dime and copper memorial.  
 

The 1903 dime was found on property about a quarter mile away from the other stuff.  I also found a 3 merry widows tin near that dime.
