Indian Heads and Mystery Relic: UPDATED PHOTO

The pics of the Merc are from my front yard last night,couldn't resist adding them to today's finds. I've covered this area next to my front sidewalk many times with my stock coil and different settings but I might have to give credit to the 12 inch coil on this one.
I revisited my favorite one room schoolhouse site this afternoon and with the weeds down and the added area that this 12 inch coil covers I was able to coax three more coins out of this site.
The big piece is a whatzit. It's aluminum approximately 8 inches in diameter. Thanks for havin a look. HH,Jerry
Here's a picture of the large "pot/pale" item after boiling it to soften the aluminum and straightening it out a bit

Great finds "Jerry". Those coins are real nice. What type of a 12" coil are you
using on your DFX? I've been thinking about getting one. Congratulations
on a fine day. Doug (blklab) :thumbsup:

Re: Indian Heads and Mystery Relic

Very nice coin finds. That merc is a beaut!

My guess is some sort of cooking apparatus, It looks similar to a small soup cooking dish I had in my camping gear.

Congrats on the coins.

Congrats OJ!
That 73 IH is sweeeeet!
The V is pretty cool too!
Always love Merc's, still the sweetest looking silver ever minted in US.

You do such a great job finding the beauties, and an incredible job of cleaning them up.
