I think I'm finally getting the hang of cornfields.
As those who have followed know, I have quite a bit of experience in this hobby. But, when it comes to hunting corn stubble fields, I am a veritable newbie!
Since the weather warmed a bit today, I couldn't resist getting in a quick wander. Got about 3 hours before the weather reasserted itself. Still not a lot of items but a very interesting AND rewarding day! Bottom line, I got out!!!
Here's the take:
I'm guessing those last three are of a shotgun slug? There are some letters there, just can't make them out.
Plow blade?
This is a bit fatter than expected. I can barely make out a shield up top and possibly the words one cent. So, I'm thinking an IH "fatty". Afraid I don't think it'll clean well. Pretty toasted. But, I'll try.
BOY! I don't find very many nails with this AT-Pro but when it finds one it doesn't fool around! LOL
And, lastly, for me the most interesting find of all my cornfield experience. (all couple months of it. )
I found this thing that made me say my name over and over today.
WHADIFIND!?!?
It appears to be brass/bronze for the most part. It's pretty heavy and substantially made. The only magnetic parts are the iron rust.
Feel free to offer any help you can.
Oh yeah! There is one more clue in addition to the possible decorative lines on the sides.
Maybe, Thomas uhhhhhhh Fred-isson?
Thanks for peeking and happy hunting to all.

Very nice relic. I'd be gridding the area with the pottery shards really well. Around here that usually means a house once stood there. A dump is possible. Good luck!
