I got a piece of lead with USA on the from a some lettering on the back not sure what it is I’m thinking bag seal. The USA looks like a newer style to me, but lead with USA is always great. If anyone knows more please let me know. God Bless America [emoji1148] IMG_2378.webpIMG_2377.webp

Bag seal is correct... As for the other ..No Idea.. Great finds
 
The second item looks like the base plate to a side mirror off an old car.
 
I found that 1907 Panama half cent and that 1897-O Barber dime about 10 yards away the other day.

Thanks I was in pulltab hell they just keep coming from one after another VDI 28 through 66 and all in between it felt like I was gonna blank today. I was frustrated about 3 hours of 4” 5” holes and then I saw a piece of lead with USA. I was smiling all the way to the truck. I was OUT.

Been detecting since the early 90s and have yet to find a coin with an "O" mint mark. Being from a little town by the name of Bogalusa, I'd like to find one of those some day. Would remind me of my old stomping grounds.
 
Nice save Truth.
One of those Pulltab signals is going to end up being Gold!
 
Love the old Bale seals, congratulations! :occasion14:

ATW it was EVERY hole back to back today nothing else it was strange every different signal was a pulltab. It was trying to break me down mentally and physically, but I remember thinking over and over, ”I’m glad I’m stubborn”.
 
Awesome Recoveries!
 
Looks like the butt plate to a old flint lock revolver
 
Nice seal! Other piece look's like the back half of an oval doorknob.............?

It does, but I would assume that would be brass. This is a different metal not sure want kind, but I do now it was deep as hell. I was sweating my butt off.
