Hello Everyone,

Had a great day at the farm permission today! Only a 5 hour hunt, but I was digging targets like a crazy man! Lots of old coins, cool relics and a few “what are you finds?”. The coins included a 1771 Real silver coin, a Toasted 1787 Fugio Cent, Mercury dime, some IH’s and Wheat cents and a toasted 18xx liberty nickel. The relics included buckles and a large Rosette (with a piece of leather still attached), flat button, Fired round ball and a few other interesting items. One of the odd finds was a circular copper (?) disk with only a swastika in the center (in photo next to the large buckle).

Thank you for looking.

GL & HH

Pretty stunning finds. A colonial silver and a Fugio in the same hunt would make my year, let alone my day. Congrats!

Great finds. I think that big piece in the last pic. Is an antique toilet flushing handle.
