Got out today to an old field behind my house. After torrential rains last night the field was a sloppy mess and I came home covered in mud. Luckily it was walking distance so I didn't leave mud clods inside my car.
Lots of targets, mostly iron but I dug 'em all and most of that is still on my patio including a 8' length of rusted chain and lots of flint chips. What I have pictured here is a couple of square nail fragments, a one-piece button, (my first!) and a heavy chunk of what looks like vehicle trim but I'm not sure. The long flat section underneath is painted black.
Does the button look like a tombac? Can anyone identify the trim piece? I will hold off on posting in the What Is It forum for now.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Nice first button. Many more to come!
 

Congratulations on your chain.
 

Cool button
Keep em coming
 

Nice.
Love those old flat buttons. I would pound that site. May be some old coins hiding in there.
I have a site with lots of iron, square nails and a few old flat buttons that gave up two late 1700's coppers and an 1807 Draped Bust LC.
I would definitely go back. All of the signs are there...
