Hey everyone! :hello:

Just wanted to share some of my recent finds...some are from my lunch break I've been hunting an old ballfield. Also tried a couple of vacant lots and scored some keepers. Went back to the farmhouse where I dug a shield nickel a couple of weeks ago and found a few more things today with Brentallica. Thanks for looking all. HH, Griff

Thanks... I was surprised too because it looked rough when I dug it.

Hot peroxide bath, then some non abrasive scrubbing.

That stuff is awesome! The arrow shape is an old plumb-bob is it not? I like the Chinese coin too. What is the coin maybe with the hole in it tho? Anyway, great digs and even better finds!
Keep diggin' John!

thanks guys, yeah the arrow shaped thing is a plumb weight and it does have some lettering on it, can't make it out though maybe you can help. The Chinese coin dynasty is 1736-1796, so that's cool 😎. The big token with the hole has John 3:16 on one side and the Lord's Prayer on the other.
