Judging by all the lead I'm pulling out of this cornfield, I'm just not sure I wanta eat corn again. At least, from there. ;)

Look at all the lead in the last post and then today, in just 3 hours, look at how much more! LOL

There was only one coin/disc today. But, I haven't a clue. It appears to be copper, seems pretty thin, weighs 3.01 grams, and you can see the size. At first, I thought it was a button with the stem broken off and I suppose it still could be. As far as I can tell so far, there doesn't seem to be anywhere that shows a former stem attached.

I'm going to attempt to get more detail but right now, feel free to guess.

Thanks for stopping by!

Well you did get some iron and copper -- both good minerals in your diet.

Yep, it comes in handy during the Winter. ;)

Also, about the lead, it sure seems like there must've been a LOT of gunfire in this place. :)

target practice. I have a hill that my friends and I shoot at on my farm and it has probaby a thousand plus rounds in it not to mention shotgun bbs.
 

lol i always have the same thoughts when im pulling all the lead out the ground.

The Key you found is VERY nice. Is that Bronze? I like Keys and this one would be enough to make the hunt worthwile for me.
 

Looks like a flat button to me.

I would expect brass/bronze for the key and yep, it made the hunt for me too. Even though I tend toward coins and I did get what might be a toasted copper coin. The key was a VERY pleasant surprise. :)

Thanks!

Dont worry, Pb rarely accumulates in plants. You are at much higher rich by pulling Pb out of the ground. There are thousands of poisons you put into your body without even knowing it. The Toxic Substance Control Act of the 70s allowed thousands of harmful chemicals to be grandfathered in. BPA is the worst and it is everywhere.

Ya know, guys. I just gotta say something. I've put in a WHOLE LOT of hours swinging my detectors in my life. (I mean a whole lot!!). Along the way I have gotten some WONDERFUL finds!!! I appreciate EVERY SINGLE one of them. But, as some here know, I am a coinshooter at heart. Here, I have FINALLY uncovered what may very well be my best find of a lifetime and I can't even say what it is because I don't know!!! >:( !!!

I tell ya, it just ain't fair!!!! >:( :(

There! Now I feel better. ;)

I'm going to post this coin up on the What Is It forum and hopefully the coin experts there might be able to tell me something. Just thought you'd wanta know. Will be a few more pics there too.

Thanks for all the tries and responses!

HH!

PS: I know it might still just be part of a button. :dontknow:
 

Love the key. That disc does have some image and or writing on it. Way to go!
 

the coin looks to be 27mm and that my friend would make it a half farthing
try soaking it in lemon juice for about 4 mins
