Large Cent, Trigger guard, Saw Madallion Flat Buttons & Coins!

JustOneMorePlug · Dec 15, 2025

Second time out to new permission. Found a bunch of goodies! Found a 1910 wheaty, 1911 V nickle, flat buttons, disston and sons saw medallion, brass shotgun shell(?) and a unreadable large cent. It is heavily corroded. Can anyone make out any details on it? It looks like it could possibly be a capped large cent but maybe that's just wishful thinking! I also found a musket trigger guard the first time out while exploring. Can't wait to go back only had a few hours. Thanks for looking!

Nice collection of finds JOMP. It's always quite frustrating when you can't ID a LC like yours. Still a great recovery. Congrats and welcome to T-Net! What part of the country are you in? What do you use for a detector? I think you will find that this is a great website to frequent for those of us who are treasure obsessed. Cheers.

A great mix of finds - congrats ! :icon_thumleft:

Good chance you could see more detail on the Large Cent by using "Andre Pencils".
If you don't already have a set, they are very inexpensive - there are some good video's on YouTube showing how to use them.

Good Luck !

Thanks for the warm warm welcome! I'm in North Carolina. I've been using the equinox 900. I plan on adding a dues 2 to my collection sooner or later.

Just an update. The piece I thought was a brass shotgun shell is actually a black powder measuring tool made by Union Hardware Company from Torrington Conneticut.
