Went to some fields friday and found Two Gilt buttons ,Small Cal. round ball,Oxen shoe with 3 nail still in it.buckle and some farm tool looks like it could be a weapon, and a lead bale seal.
Ground was frozen deeper than i like so only dug a few targets.

Any markings on your bale seal bud? I love those. Looks like some good potential at that spot
