I got out to detect a bit after work today at the plantation house pasture. I recently paid to have it bush hogged and plowed because the owners let it get overgrown after the horses were gone. It's still very clumpy but seems to be smoothing out as we get rain. There were pottery & glass shards showing up everywhere, and I think I found a piece of an arrowhead today.
My only coins so far since it was plowed were a 1965 quarter and two nickels (1946 & 1948). No silver or Colonials yet.
Pictured are my finds from today and a video I shot.
Enjoy:

The button in the dirt clod turned out to be an 1800's flat button with "Imperial Treble Gilt" back mark.
The other button is an 1800's also with a wreath design backmark. I can't make out the lettering though.
Any ideas on the huge thing that looks like a large nail or engine valve? It has a square shaft (not round) so I don't think it's a valve.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting this weekend,
MM
