Following a lead I found researching online I took a long drive to an old town dumpsite. It has clearly been dug for bottles as piles of broken bottles were everywhere and old cans and other junk piled next to the bottle piles. Probably been detected before also, but since I was there I gave it a go.
I found an old doorbell escutcheon, a Heinz 57 glass bottle stopper, a heart pendant(no writing on it), a harmonica reed(my first), a lock escutcheon, and some other odds and ends, the most puzzling of which is the 'T' shaped brass item.
It has two different sized ends with concave faces and a hole in the center which only goes in 1/2 inch. The 'handle' looking end looks like it was swaged into a hole as a rivet would be.
The little eagle buckle thing is brass and plastic. The other odd thing below the lock escutcheon is the second one I've found and have no idea what it could be.
On the way out of town I spied a park and gave it a quick look. Somebody has been coin shooting that place as there were no coins except for nickels. What there were was a ton of low and mid signals like pull tabs and gum wrapper foil. I was happy to see nobody was looking for gold there. I pulled the titanium ring first. That thing is huge, size 13.5! Too bad it wasn't gold. The other ring is costume bling. I only had about a half hour to look there. I'll be hitting that park at some point in the future, too bad it's so far.
