You dug a lot of relics JB!!! We occasionally dig the round iron piece to the right of the hammer head in the second pic. I'm sure it's a common find but do you or anyone know what it is? WTG, Q.

Looks like late 1800s to mid 1900s type relics. Dig it all! What is the date range of the coins? HH, Mike

Mike only found one coin there at the school it was a 1925 wheat. The rest were found on the way there.I'd say they're more coins there,its just riddled with metal and grew up.Thanks

cti4 has it ID'ed - it's a shackle that was used to either secure something in place very heavy or something you didn't want wandering off (like a horse/etc.) and/or to guide rope/chain suspended from a post/beam overhead to help in lifting very heavy items such as logs, steel of sorts, etc. It had multiple uses ;-)

Nice relic dig! Great research on your end too! Would like to see those buttons up close in a pic and hope to see more finds from that place :-)

Find more, dig more, post more!

Cool finds, the junior police badge seems to have some writing in the middle. I can't make it out, what does it say?

Nice recoveries! I think the item at the very top left is a Model T Ford tire valve cover. I have found many of those. Should have threads just inside the opening.

Here is a link to the valve stem covers.
