medallion,1883, and mystery copper

[TheDirtDiggler]

Went out twice in the last few days these are some pics of what I came up with the spot is kind of far so probably wont go back . This is after about 5 hours of detecting..



silver St. Christopher medallion probably the nicest find of all the hunts at this spot, the wheat penny next to it is a 1917 in pretty good condition the picture from my phone doesn't do any justice..pretty sure that biggest buckle is an old one anyone that could date it.. that would be awesome. not sure what the metal w the screw holes in it is



second hunt I got the indian head penny and a silver quarter and this mystery copper ..



anyone have any idea what this is, I thought it was a coin but its so toasted I really cant tell if it is even a coin
the whole in it is squared


the mystery copper object weights 7.98 grams and is about 27mm in diameter pretty much same thickness as the quarter it has a very slight bend to the middle of it..anyone with any info would be great!

thanks for checkin out the pics, HH

The big buckle is IMO the best find, un bent, a nice shoe buckle frame, probably late 1700's.
With targets that old, and lots still left in the ground...I'd go back...and maybe get an old silver, etc.

EDIT, can't help with the copper, I just can't see, probably is a coin, can you crop a pic. down to just the coin and post up one of those ?

Rick is right, that 1700s shoe buckle is by far your best find. Not going back? I'd be pounding that spot! Nice finds, surely more there.

27mm could be anything from a King George halfpenny to a large cent depending on the acidity of your soil.

You found that, a silver religious pendant, a 1917 penny, and a silver quarter, and you won't be going back? Mind posting the location so the rest of us can take over?

If I had a site like that, My wife would have to bring me my lunch for a couple of weeks.

If I had that coin I'd have my peroxide heating up. It looks like the perfect candidate to clean up that way. Nice finds.

 

[TheDirtDiggler]

well i wasnt planning on going back cuz its nearly an hour from my house but haha i guess ill be going back

i already cleaned it in peroxide but might give it another shot

I'm surprised the hot peroxide didn't take the dirt off.
