Yep; got the first snow of the year the day after Thanksgiving. Was I going to spend my morning fighting traffic and crowds for deals? Psh. Slept in and made it out to the local woods that we've hit for years. Mirage led me to a spot farther in that he recently found some modern silver and wheats in. Realizing he worked the area pretty good, I started wandering out deeper in. I poked around here and there for maybe half an hour or more when I got a moderately interesting signal--not real high and silver sounding, but enough to think that it could be a coin. Yes, that turned out to be the 1836 large cent. I'm surprised at first of all finding it here after so long, and secondly that it gave such a lazy signal. It was 6 or 7 inches down which obviously had some effect on the signal but still. Got kinda lucky with this coin, it's probably a stray, to some degree at least....there's a lot of woods that still are unsearched so I'm betting another coin of this age shows up at some point later down the road. Practically all of our hunting in this place was nowhere near this area.
A few days prior, I hit the local park for a couple hours. Finding a wheat penny doesn't even happen on every hunt here anymore. I found 4 that day (2 in the same hole) and the silver dime. Finding a stinkin silver roosevelt in this park feels like winning some kind of small-scale lottery, for real lol. So that was neat.
Here's those finds.
Here's the pics from the large cent hunt in the woods. Came across whatever this thing is...
LC found here
FROG, not a toad I think

Oh, and the silver quarter and clad and stuff came from a field that me and Mirage discovered driving around. Well, most of it was near a sidewalk along the field, but I wanna hit the field and stuff some more.
No idea about these things...
Mirage found the spoon handle (pewter probably), and I'm not sure what the long thing in the top of the pic is; it was very deep and looks pretty old. Mom suggested it could be something for the kitchen.
Anyway take care yall!

I wish I could find one of those. Oh yeah, I finally did. Now I can stop saying that. 
You beat me by 14 years. 
Nice digs. Silver and especially the Largie. I like that intake manifold with a 2 barrell setup on it
I'll try to keep it away...you know, if we didn't have that slight snowfall, it would have been a record for not having any snow in November around here. It's been a nice fall.
