6.16.2011 Mid-1800's yard

I buzzed a small yard of a house built in the 1860's. Found a 1901 Indian Head Cent, a Zippo lighter and a weird copper "nugget". Also a couple bucks in clad.

Copper nugget looks natural, probably from the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, where they can still be "picked up", especially by a metal detector. Why is it there? Unless you live in Mich. the question provokes a unanswerable answer. Fun to find unexpected things. Next time, go for the gold nugget.

I'm in Illinois, I guess someone could have brought it back and dropped it? There are a lot of Michigan transplants here. I hear ya' on the gold nugget! chicken nugget<copper nugget<gold nugget
