Couldn't wait for the weekend to get back out and work this old plantation site again. The weather was great and I had 2 hours before dark ... let's go! I started working right from where I left off the other evening due to darkness. I was cut a little short on my time because one of the property owner's hands walked out to see what I was doing and we spent the last 15-20 minutes of the evening talking and showing him what I found. Along with clearing about 20 pounds of iron ... my finds from this hunt were: 1900 IH, 1910 Wheat cent, a very toasted and thin large copper, a very nice dandy button, a triangle shaped tag, silver thimble, old key, a buckle, couple of spoons, and a few other odds and ends. It was a cool couple of hours and I plan to go back at least one more time this season. Thanks for looking ~ Jimmy

Great to still be getting out diging some old dirt!

Your bent coin is a Hibernia, halfpenny if the correct size.
 
You made some nice finds there....Matt
 
Nice FINDS. There should be a lot more for next time.
 
Very cool - relics of a bygone age.
