9 silvers, 44 wheats, 4 Buffs, 2 Vs and an odd lead seal - need help with ID!

[testing123]

Had plans to check out an older area yesterday but haven't yet gotten permission. So it was on to Plan B. Started off in an area I've hit before, and it was slow going. Did manage a couple of wheats and a small sterling band (0.6 grams). Moved to another I haven't hit yet and within a few minutes three wheat cents came out. That's promising!

No need for more details... here's the take:

2 Sac Dollars
1951-S Franklin half
1956-D Washington Quarter
5 silver dimes - 1957, 1936, 1924, 1905, 1943-d
nickels - 1943-P, 1893, 1899, 1915, 1923, 1928, 1914
44 wheats (1909, 1947, 1941, 1945, 1956-D, 1957-D, 1923, 1912, 1918, 1953, 1941, 1937, 1940, 1953-D, 1941, 1957, 1953-D, 1937, 1927, 1941, 1924, 1944-D, 1934, 1944, 1935?, 1940, 1942, 1941, 1919, 1939, 1938, 1923, 1909, 1918, 1942, 1918, 1948, 1948, 1920, 1920, 1953, 1938, 1928, 1942)
Canada large cent (early 1900s)
Gold plated horseshoe ring
Adjustable junk ring
Gold plated ring with missing stone
Sterling love band
Watch fob
2 B&M lead seals
One unknown lead seal
One long B&M lead seal
Two older pins. One resembles a peanut
Older ford key
One hollow barrel skeleton key?
Monster lead seal? Can anyone ID what it was for?
Good luck horseshoe token

Ended with 188 coins in all. That's a lot of digging.

I'm thinking the big lead piece has something to do with the railroad as several small seals were found in the area, but I have no idea what it would be used for.

Wow! What a day.

That is a lot of digging, but well worth it.

Congrats! I have had a few yards like that this year but only a few (my record for one yard is 40 wheats). It's quite a high to hit a place like that!~

Mannn. Congratz , Finding a spot like that is a natural HIGH, that Def, pushes you to keep digging signal after signal ,Ill bet your sore today. Id definitely hit that spot again ,if you feel like it [ with less discrimination ] the only thing harder than digging is cleaning all the stuff, esp, the cents [if you take the time] Good job

 

[Evolution]

Wow. Looks like you did a ton of digging. Congrats on all of that silver. Your silver count is gonna add up fast if you're finding 9 per hunt. Way to go!

Wow, after reading your post I thought, "no way..." then clicked on the link and thought, "yes way..." Thank you! How'd you ever find such a thing online? In case anyone was curious, it weighs a little over 88 grams.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Hope to get back there this weekend, but an older, more historic site may open up that would get some attention.
