Lost Treasures of the Little People

  I thought the last ring was small, but this thing measures like a quarter of an inch in diameter. These are the little people that little people call little people. It is most definitely silver. The ring was banging off the gauge at eight inches deep--I thought I had a silver dollar, and it took me about twenty minutes to find this teensy-weensy ultra-tiny mini-person ring in the soil.

 Also, there was this small gold-plated shirt button, from some early 20th Century fancy-pants. "Oh, look at me, I'm Mr. Fancy-Pants, with golden buttons and silver bells and tra-la-la-la-la. I'm off to see the little people."
