Interesting find...

[TheButtonKing]

So today,
I went to a new spot by myself and was using my Garrett at pro I found something cool. I went out there for like 6 hours and this spot was old old, so I didn't find much signals and all of them were like 8-10 inches deep. All the iron was like 8 inches deep and I was really excited about that and I went on to find 3 flat buttons that look early 1800's maybe. And this find was cool. I got something around a 60 as a signal and I dug about 8 inches and found this smile shaped "piece of junk". I thought I saw a design on it and I looked again. It said 1858 and I was like, what the heck and I looked on the back part of the piece and it showed a part of a wreath and on the front, (it showed I saw later a part of the person sitting). I got so happy because that "would"have been my first full seated dime of course if it were full. Oh well, I was still happy. Sorry for my long rant. Had to save that part for last. ~Thanks, TheButtonKing
Here's some pics:


Side Note: What do you guys think those pieces were off of?

Congratulations on your finds
Something really chewed that target (s) up.
No lawn mowers back then to do that kind of damage.

Those are some pretty cool finds! Those buttons are nice. That is too bad about that dime. I wonder why someone did that. Maybe they got bored, had a dime and decided to pound on it with a hammer. The mystery pieces are very strange, don't know what they are.

ya. We were thinking the dime might have been shot at and then broken in half by like an implement in later years but idk about the other things

I know. I was pretty annoyed about that but its still cool that it somehow didn't cut the date off at all. But, I still wish it was full.
