It rained much of today but I caught a break late in the afternoon and returned to the Baltimore County field I've been hunting since July.

Again, as it's done many times before, it yielded a couple more relics: a flat button and a piece of iron that looks like it was part of a cooking pot.
The button does have a back mark but not quite clear enough to make out all the words. The cast iron pot piece is 3/16th inch thick, has two raised ridges and what appears to be two attachment points for a handle.

Modern change amounted to $1.14. Oldest coin today is a 1911 wheat.

Did find a modern four-hole button and a fragment from a piece of junk jewelry, maybe a ring, and it looks older.

Good to get out and dig some old along with the new.

Almost forgot the weirdest find of the hunt....a mammoth safety pin marked "137".

Man that must have been a huge baby :laughing7:
Great looking flat button.
Yeah I would say some kind of iron pot.
What no pull tabs?
 

I remember having safety pins that size at the city swimming pool when I was a KID. But I forgot what we used them for.
 

Amazing finds ... Thanks for the great post!!!!
