Finally a Large Cent and some other goodies.

[Jacobsdt]

I have been hunting some woods close to my house and found a nice spot that has had some activity. I have found Civil War and prior. Had a pretty good day today.

I found one back when I first started metal detecting and it was in worse shape than this one. I have been waiting for another. This one is rough and someone has hammered straight edges on it for some reason. I can only make out the first and last number for the date 1__9.

This was an interesting button, it is a 2 piece button with the shank on the back. I think that is rust on the front.

This flat button is small but looks really cool with that symbol on the front.

Not sure what this one is, I believe its solid brass. Some sort of collar pin?

These woods had a lot of small tree's close together making it hard to swing a coil. The buttons I have found have either disintegrated or came out of the ground in very rough shape. I managed to find this New York cuff in one piece.

A thimble and the second photo, I'm not sure. Its small and brass, has the hook on the bottom.

Another small button and this other piece looks like it was from a very fancy buckle. I wasn't able to find the rest of it.

I have found a close to 50 bullets so far, some are Washington Arsenal's

This last photo shows what I have been able to find from this spot so far. Thanks for looking. HH.

Nice finds ! I do not think its a large cent, you need to clean off reverse a little--token is my guess

It is a Largie It says USA right on the reverse of it! Nice and toasty find. I think the bicycle shaped hook is off of a girdle. Keep on Swingin Looks like a hunny hole to me

Its a box stud. (A kind of tack that went on wood)

Congrats on some nice finds. The first largie I found in my yard was hammered flat in the same manner as yours. I think it was an attempt at making a coin ring.

Very nice assortment of finds congrats

 

[Kurios1]

You are getting an impressive collection of relics from this sight. Love the "sun" flat button. Great bunch of old lead too. Looks like potential for that one mind blowing find to be lurking about somewhere.

Looks like you've got yourself a nice spot. Great variety of finds. Congrats on the large cent. Toasty or not, they're always a thrill to see come out of the ground.
