My first US large cent and more.

I have been hunting the mid 1800 farmers field across the street from me for years.
A few sivler coins and IHC's but nothing older than 1850's. Till today! 1834 Liberty head. My first US largie! A second ever dug Civ era three ringer and a couple other interesting metal shards.

Congratulations on your old LC.
The one item with the crossed arrows is interesting.

I agree. We need more info on the silvery arrows thing.

Thanks for the congrats all.
I am at work today AGAIN! But I will take more pics of the arrows. Saved that from my trach bag. ALWAY double check your trash.. It feels like Tin, very light and feels easy to bend. So dirty it ended up in the trash pouch. I would think even thin silver would be heavier then it is. Also it is tapered at the one end almost like a bracelet would be. But other than that I know nothing about it.

Cool finds and love the LC!

Persistence paid off! It's good to have a site nearby that you can hunt when you get the urge and sometimes find nice things there. I have an early 1800s home site on our own property about 50 yards from our house. It's in a 5 acre field. I have been doing little hunts there for years and it is really nice to have that resource nearby.
