I got back for 6hrs yesterday to an old permission at a c1860 home site that I first detected in 2014. I’ve been back several times since, but without much success. The difference yesterday was that we're coming off almost three straight days of rain here in Ontario.
My first interesting find was a lead heart attached to an old piece of metal. I’ve found these early ‘lead hearts’ before in the form of horse rosettes (see last picture), but none like this before. If anyone can shed any light on how this might have been used I would appreciate it. The ‘star button’ is a two-piece button with the back rusted out, I’ve never seen this style before. When I first saw a 92 — 93 reading on the Deus VDI, I looked down to see what I thought was an aluminum slug sticking out of the dirt… boy was I wrong! It’s obviously a Canadian George VI quarter (c1909—1936) unfortunately it’s worn as smooth as a baby’s bottom!
A few of the more interesting finds from today was a brass shield buckle, a plain Victorian sash buckle, a small brass padlock and a 1951 dog tag.
Thanks very much for looking!

PS. This past week took a walk in the woods to check on the two McLaughlin hunting cabin sites, as I would like to detect the field periphery… nope, still under corn. (Last three pics)
