Past two day digs! Lots of stuff. First half dime and she's a doozy!!!

Lots of digs these past two days. Got my first half dime and she's in great shape aside from being bent. Also got my oldest Indian! Good condition too considering how bad MA soil is. I have a lot of what izits for you gurus to id for me. Those two pics that say button or coin, are most likely buttons but they rang up different than any button I've found before and feel quite a bit different too.

second to last photo long cylinder piece is a tip from a cutting torch or brazing tip.

The oval above the torch tip looks like a strike plate for a deadbolt lock.

The iron rings with the attached pieces just before the glass cutter photo... I usually think of a hitching post where they were attached.... you would loop your reins through the ring. That's an ideal spot to detect at in an old site because people mounted and dismounted their horses around them.... HH M.

Great digs! Looks like you had a good couple days. Love the relics. Good luck on your next hunt.

I figured it had something to do with horses.
