50s football field

Went out Tuesday evening for some detecting. Didn't find any wheats, but did find a 1951 dime. There were also some dirt piles there, not sure where they came from but had lots of red brick and square nails so I played in the dirt to check it out. Found the buckle and other unknown copper item in there.

The brass piece above the golf ball is a drip oiler from a hit & miss engine. Being nickel plated I would say De laval cream separator engine from the AG class of the old school?

I bet those piles of dirt you mentioned are mole hills. I’m fighting those pests in my yard. If you could teach one to find coins you could retire!
