I finally got some help from a ground hog this weekend. In the first picture you can see the ground hog hole and the dirt pile. I always check these but rarely find anything. This time I got a perfect large cent signal on my Deus - steady 95 in all directions and shallow. I marked the spot by scraping a little dirt, then I took a picture.
Turned out to be a half decent 1837 Large Cent
Found a few other things over the weekend - Piece of shoe buckle, cuff link with a design I can't figure out, couple flat buttons, large PA State Seal button, and type set piece with letter D.
I can't figure out what the heck is on this cuff link. It came from a late 18th C site and is heavier than most and slightly convex.
Talk about detecting hazards! This lightning rod tip has 5 needle sharp points. I poked my finger on one of them.
After extracting this hellish device, I checked the hole again and found this Pennsylvania State Seal button from shortly after the Civil War.
Finally, not far from the lightning rod piece and the State Seal button, I dug this perfect circa 1910 sash buckle at about 14 inches deep.
