This is a 1912 D Lincoln cent found at Port Neches Park next to a large oak tree at the northeast corner of the park where some residential houses stood years ago. Appx 6" deep.

1917 D Mercury Dime in fairly bad condition found in the front of the Julie Rogers Theater in downtown Beaumont, Texas. This dime was only about 2" deep which makes me think it was transported in some fill dirt from another location. No other old coins were found in the vicinity.

1924 D Buffalo Nickel was found in Port Neches, Texas in a vacant lot across the street from an elementary school on Heisler St. This lot caught my eye because the center of the lot is elevated about an inch or so and the grass was a different color on the elevated section, meaning that a house once stood there. This lot has given up about 40 wheatback pennies, some silver dimes and this nickel, ranging from 1924 through now.

This 1950 D Roosevelt dime came from the same vacant lot as the buffalo nickel above. The nickel was found close to some bicycle racks and this dime was found in the southwest (rear) corner.

This is the only gold ring I have found so far. 10K made in Mexico. 2 snakes with small diamonds for the snakes eyes. This ring was found on Pleasure Island, Port Arthur, Texas. It was at a small kids park under a bench about 1" deep.

This is what's left of silver bracelet found on Pleasure Island, Port Arthur, Texas on the site where an amusement park once stood by the waters edge. This park was in full swing in the 40's and 50's. The bracelet was found in what would have been the parking lot (according to the pictures I can find of the park) It was found about 6". First 5" is dirt and then you hit the old shale parking lot. They just covered it with dirt and planted grass.
Here are some pics of some other rings and things I have found. This also includes 2 glass door knobs found at an old home site that had been demolished.
