Large Cent and relics from the weekend

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Saturday morning I spet 1.5 hours at one of my older spots and was happy to come home with a couple of keepers. The Large Cent is a Matron Head, 1816-1839. No date visible on this one. This is copper #5 for this spot. The ornimental, square thing has me wondering what it is. The last keeper was the Tombac button.
Sunday morning I hit another spot as kind of a scouting mission. Not too much to brag about. The thimble is aluminum. The suspender thingy would have been a great one with the red glass in the center but my super powers of pinpointing let me chop it right in half. Better luck next time I guess. The fired round ball was the last find.

It felt really good to get out.......

Great digs VPR! If that thimble is early 1800's then the fact that it is aluminum makes it really cool. That stuff was precious back then.

Thanks for the replies

I have not been able to do much metal detecting the last two summers. My wife and I bought a new house and its keeping me busy! I am planning a week off from work in the end of October and have a new place in mind to swing. Still working on permission.
