Yes!

The winter here in Finland have had poor start. Lucky me, because I thought over a month ago that my last hunt was done. Well it have been like +3 c. to +8 c. these days. And now I have possibility to do couple of detecting trips before the true winter arrives with lots of snow.

Well I was so thrilled this morning when I knew that I can go hunt today. I decide to choose spot, where I did found kopeka from 1700s earlier this summer. And now I realize how big the area is, cause foliage has gone away to wait the next summer. So it was easier to detect ground, but that area is quite huge, so must go another time to do some better searching.

Not a single coin this time, but Im sure there must be them somewhere. Well who need a coins anyway. Found my real first musket balls from here . I think that they are from Finnish war 1808-1809 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_War . I love them :) They are really heavy and nice to roll in you hands :D

Then found this nice bell, I dont know, maybe some of you can put a year to it. Maybe from 1800s. Then this thumb thing, lead horseshoe and other relics. Can anyone identify that last junk object wheres some numbers etc.

Cant wait to do next hunt tomorrow!

Nice find,the last object is a lead tire or wheel weight to balance or true an automobile wheel/tire.

I like the bell and the key. Perhaps the horseshoe is a good luck charm?

The bell looks like an original door bell. Pull the wire and the bell rings. Or perhaps from a store? Open the store's front door and the bell is rung.
 
Nice finds! That item in question looks to be a wheel weight for sure. Tsgman
