I hit the plantation property that I've detected for a few years now. The soil was damp and I worked some areas very slowly. I had hit some of these same areas many times, but still managed some keeper, including a CW knapsack hook in the front yard!
I've been waiting for the critters and heat to go away so I could mark a well off in the woods so others wouldn't fall into it. It is about 20'+ deep, covered with weeds, hard to see, and wide open!
Before I cleaned around it I yelled down, "put the lotion in the basket!" , but no one answered back. 
I took some before and after pictures for you to see.
Be carefull when you are out detecting old properties!
My finds were:
*CW knapsack hook (yard)
*1936 Merc (pasture) - It was a dark grey when I dug it up.
*No date Buff nickel (yard)
*Railroad lock key (yard)- It says "R & G RR- S" (Raleigh Gaston Railroad), and "Ritchie & Son - Newark, NJ."
*1800's lock (yard)
*Victorian era "sterling" silver decorative piece (yard) - Jewelry piece?
*One broken arrowhead, and one quartz possible arrowhead (?)
Is the quartz one an arrowhead
?
UPDATE
I posted the arrowheads in the Indian Artifacts forum and received the following info:
Hi MM, You have a Savanah River on the left, made from Rhyolite & a Quartz blade, looking at the edges I would say it was used for more a sawing action, than slicing. Started as a preform (for a Guilford) & they just added the serrations?
Nice finds. Good luck with your next hunt.
Molly..
Thanks for looking,
MM

We have so many open wells around here, that Lisa and I decided it would be a good idea to store a rope in the back of the Tahoe... along with all of our other provisions. :P
