  1. Some Interesting Iron

    Finds are getting a little scarcer at the 1830s farm site. I've started digging more of the iron using the iron audio on AT Pro and expanding my search area a bit. I did find a 1942 wheat cent in a modern coin spill which was an odd coincidence. I am not sure what the iron rod with the slot...

  3. Iron rings and links

    My buddy found this in what was once a farm until around 1970. I believe it’s iron. It is pretty heavy. There are no makers marks on it. I used a can of soda for size purposes. He attempted to remove some of the rust with Naval jelly which explains the whitish color. It was really closer to...
  4. I've been digging up a large platform scale.. piece by piece

I hit the '100' weight with a...

    Hey guys, I found this today while metal detecting with my AT Garret Pro in a field next to a farm and it was hitting around "84" and "32". It was also around 12 inches deep. I think it may be some sort of farm tool or maybe something obvious but i have yet to discover what it actually is. I...
