Recent finds - Large Cents, Jaw Harp, Cufflink, Buckle and Buttons

[Steve in PA]

I finally got into the swing of things this year after back-to-back headphone and coil problems with my Deus that required repair center support. The Jaw Harp and Tallio cufflink were found April 13 at an old site that I have pounded to death over the years. Everything else was found April 18 and 19 at a new site.
Edit - the last picture is stuff I found yesterday, 4-23-24 at the new spot. This small area is pretty much cleaned out now.

Nice recoveries, it's been awhile since I have seen a Jews harp posted.
Well done on the coppers and the cufflink.
Good to hear you're up and running again.

Lots of great recoveries. Thanks for sharing.

One of my first ever finds was a Jews harp just like that one. Dating them is notoriously difficult as they have been found in antiquity. Apparently the Vikings even had them. I associate them with the deep south and some guy sat sweating on his porch in Alabama
Couldn't imagine Ragnar Lothbrok sat there twanging one humming a tune to Odin. But apparently so.

I had a Fisher 1270 , it was a good capable detector.

Thanks. This is my best one yet. All the others were either rusty iron, bent, or missing a leg. A friend in Ohio has found a lot on native American village sites. Apparently, they were a popular trade good with the Indians.

I went back to my new spot yesterday and found 6 more buttons, a crusty, corroded matron head half cent, and a piece of shoe buckle.
At this point I have pretty much sucked the life out of this small area.

Great recoveries. These are fantastic to look at when I can't get out myself.
Thanks for sharing!

Great finds Steve! I’ve never found a jaw harp or asymmetrical buckle. You’re on a nice old site or 2. I hope they keep producing for you. Hopefully some Spanish silver is lurking around!!!

Thanks Thad. I'm on a Spanish silver drought. Last one I found was the cob in August 2022.

Good finds. I used to love the sound of the jaw harp as a kid. So I got one and nearly broke a tooth, I was clueless how to play one. 😆
