1st Buffalo Nickel and a mystery brass thing.

My local detecting friend started finding stuff, 1837 large cent and a n 183? Half cent to name the good stuff, at this abandoned 1750s house. Took me a moment to recognize where it is. Had an hour to see if my small coil would get anything he missed. Dirt was hard as a rock, ants were angry with me. But I got a buffalo nickle and this brass thing. It's 0.75 by 0.85 inches. Has a fin on either side. No idea. Have to go back here when it rains. Seem to do good with a small coil and wet ground.

Nice Buffalo Nickle! :icon_thumleft:
 

Thanks all. Just a 1936 most common year but minimal ware. Going back tomorrow. Ground should be softer. Any ideas on the brass thing?
 

Cool finding the Buffalo nickel. Don't know what that other dud is, but congratulations anyway!
 

Any time you can knock one off the bucket list, it's a success- Congrats!
