Two days ago I went out to detect for the whole day. At 9 am in the morning I arrived to the first location I was about to hunt on this trip. This location consisted of one house foundation from the 1800's and a stone well. This was in the middle of the woods and the closest house from here was probably 10 kilometers away. I found absolutely nothing at that location so I moved on to the next location which was a larger house foundation from the 1800's. At that location I found absolutely nothing again besides a "grave" of a horse:
I ate lunch and moved on to the next location. It took 30 minutes to drive from each location and I didn't find any finds so I was getting a little bit annoyed. At the next location I began to detect and only found bullet casings everywhere and a lot of deep iron nails that sounded good. I actually dug over a hundred bullet casings at that place. After detecting for an hour I dug another hole but this time the soil was black as coal. There where bits of charcoal in the dirt too so I thought that it had burned here a long time ago. And by thinking that I also thought that I must be near the house foundation that I had a hard time locating on this location. So I dug down more and got a beautiful mid 1800's bronze two piece button:
And then I walked only a meter away and got another button, this time a late 1700's to early 1800's bronze/pewter flat button:
After that find I found another mid 1800's bronze two piece button but with no design and it appears to have been gold plated:
I went on detecting and didn't find anything else. So I went to the next location. On this location it had been a school teachers house in the early 1700's but I couldn't find the house foundation so I detected on the abandoned field besides that was probably related to the house foundation (that I couldn't find). I actually luckily found a archaeologists picture of the exact house foundation on the internet:
I detected on that field for maybe half an hour and found a very strange iron mystery item that I would love to get identified, so if anybody knows what it is, please let me know (weighs ca 330 gram and is ca 10 cm long):
Thank you for looking and happy hunting!
