Here are some of my finds over the last week or so.
Yesterday I went out with one of my sons and check out the rotted stump of a very large and old tree that was just screaming with signals. It turns out that it was used for target practice a very long time ago. With musket balls and 2 ringer shells
On the same day I also found an interesting lead heart that seems to have been a fitting of some sort as well as a couple of buckles.
In the same area the day prior I found a harmonica reed, the destroyed brass case of a compass, toe taps, the remains of a broach with a flower center a 1915 British Halfpenny and another 1864 Nova Scotia Cent. My son found the clock movement just up the road a few hundred yards at the next cellar hole. There are a dozen or so foundations along the road over a kilometer or two.
The Nova Scotia Cent has beautiful detail, I have not yet cleaned all the dirt from it. I found it under a rock wall where I removed (and later replaced) a couple of stones and there was Victoria, chilling with a salamander.
And finally, for fun, here is a 'discovery' from last weekend that I thought I would share, a dual rear axle DeSoto Airflow Delivery. There can't be many of these about
