Had a quick hunt, but was watched by the farmers posse`

[prolab69]

Found all these items at some pasture foundations, the nickel is a 1916, just barely a date to read. Some buckles, another crotal bell, a few wheats, and these small oval rings, anyone out there know what these were used for? front & back are shown. The whole time I was hunting I had company of about 50 cows, a few of them were mimmiking my machine every time I did a depth reading. also found a sterling catholic medal, a button, a brass ring and maybe part of a bridle. The flat button says L. H & S gilt, curious as to what these little oval rings are, thanks
Enjoy!

The boys are all geared up, you can see the excitement on their faces! Is it just me or do they look like the Darlins? Now go put on your old clothes, we got chores to do...

Great day! the oval things look to be tarp or tent gromments. HH

Your ovals have been Id'ed several times recently on the "What is it?" forum as turn button latches. Used on purses etc.

Good Hunt.

Yeah, I should visit that page more often, I would have listed it there, but I think this page gets more traffic. I would have guessed a grommet for a tent like theloadroom stated, but I guess the two knotches on it seems logical as a snap for a handbag also.
thanks

Nice photo of the herd! Sweet buffalo & sterling pendant! Keep up the good work

nice finds and the cow pic is really crisp

I have detected and had horses bugging me the entire time and trying to eat my machine, my cap, and just being normal pests.

Good finds.

The cows are thinking" Yeah, don't worry about us, just go ahead and turn your back....."

 

[SoreKneesDayton]

Good hunt. Like those metal cheerios. That ring is like one for a bulls nose. What your back...lol

[prolab69]

Actually, I think they were thinking"why is this guy digging in our poop?

Cool. I've spent lotsa pasture hours with their four-legged kin. This one place used to have a bull that I had to flank every time i got in the field. Its amazing how animals always know there are people around. ie: not even know the cows are on the other side of the hill and you top it and they're all looking at ya. LOL

Great finds.
