Found my first ever "Fatty" IHP today and a few knick knacks !!

[CoinandRelicMan]

Went detecting today in some brown sandy river bottoms. First and only coin find today was this 1863 copper nickel alloy IHP, my first fatty one ever! Found the IHP first then checked again and still signal same area dug some more and got this lovely square nail. Its a good guess that it would predate the Civil War probably? The ornate green rectangular object is really thin brass not sure what it used to be part of but I like it almost as much as the IHP! It read down in the foil range. To the right are busted up remains of a small penknife is my guess. And the buttons on bottom left are eyeballed finds from the same area. On bottom right is some lead fragment I have no idea what it used to be. Thanks for checking out the finds, was a pretty good day, the truck did not get stuck on the way out, thank goodness.


Thanks for dropping by and happy detecting to you all !!
