Had a great day in the field yesterday. Found lots of keepers. For coins the mystery copper was ID’d as a 1792 half penny from Dublin. Also got 5 Indians 1861 fatty 1864 and 1867 both toast and two nice ones dated 1879 and 1883. Got one of my nicest ever tombac buttons, CW infantry cuff button, some buckled and a cool bell. One of the neatest finds was the barrel of a black powder pistol!!

Congrats on some nice recoveries :thumbsup: Those little boot pistols were pretty popular in the mid 1800s.

The fields around here just have cows, cow patties, and little pieces of barb wire. Great hits.

That is one hell of a haul of goodies. Good job on ID'ing that half penny. Looks like that required some detective work!

Nice variety of finds! All the rain in Ohio has made it good for the relic hunters but not so good for the farmers!

Awesome finds, I just found a similar barrel, look up “muff guns” theres a nice makers mark page for these, probably a ELG makers mark( belgium made) and sometimes they have a letter with a crown over for different reasons
