Detector(s) used
Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore mostly or oversized coil on equinox.
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
I've been detecting here on and off since July and it's pretty loaded. If it's nice enough out I'll stop like 2 hours in early evening once a week and dig the trashy signals and iffy stuff. It's slow but there's still a good bit of bottle cap and down signals in here. Some of them end up being non trash items.

2 Indians are no date toasted front, fatty 1863.
Buttons- 2 flat buttons and a tombac cast in shank coat button with design. Little chewed up on edges but it's fragile. Total buttons for here is at 11 now.

Spoon piece is definitely silver and monogrammed Mc K.

Buckles-suspender buckle and another I've not seen before though I've been told it's later 1700s to like 1800.

Think the handle is from a old candle stick??
Also shown are a doorknob escutcheon and door lock escutcheon?

I’m getting into similar trashy signals. Right now I’m finding old cans, copper pipe, nails etc. I can discriminate, but really want to see everything. I built on an old farm site. I don’t know how it was laid out originally. I want to find clues as to where the house, outhouse, barn etc was located. Keep digging, and good luck.🍀

Thank you. The silver spoon part definitely didn't sound good. Pretty thin. Good luck to you as well. Guess you figure you find a bunch of horse tac in one area you know your near the old barn ect?
