Lastest and greatest from old sites with a new machine!!! X2 half dimes!!!!!

[fishstick]

Howdy all, had a chance to take my new D2 out to a few sites finally and have to say I love it. Super stable and sings like a rock star when crossing a goodie. Double half dimes from the capped dime field had me stoked for sure. 1868 two center is in really good shape as well as the 1837 LC. Some nice buttons to with what I believe is some cufflinks. All in all some fun swinging with the D2. Thx for looking

Nice finds! I don't see a cuff link, but, maybe that roofing nail is what you think is one.

I don't believe it's a roofing nail, place was gone before they came around. It has a small lip like it had an inset of some sort.

It definitely a roofing nail, specifically a vintage slate roofing nail, this type are no longer used, new type looks more like a regular roofing nail.
Here are some unused ones like yours on Ebay.

Finding these roof fasteners in unused condition is pretty rare. These fasteners were found in a box lot of old hardware from an estate in Warren County NJ. Any Ruler or Quarters in pictures are for scale purposes only and are not included in the sale.

How deep does the new machine go verses the old one?

Well I'll be damn, learn something new everyday. Thx for the ID. Really surprised I've not found more of them over the years.

Seems to be a lil deeper but DEF better separation which was what I was hoping for.
