Lunch time quick hunt

Found some brass square nails and this button or fastener . Still trying to get back into the "swing" of things since my trip.

Now is as good as time as any.

In 1962, I built my first detector, a BFO operating near 455 kHz (kilocycles per second back then) because the parts for that frequency were redly available. Remember, 455 kHz, was one of the IF frequencies in the Armstrong-designed super heterodyne receivers of the day. The first area I searched was the northeast corner of my property which had been a bus stop many years before. First silver (obviously) and one of those was a 194e half dollar. I still have that coin!
