I've been scanning a property that dates back 100 years, and yesterday was my best day yet.
(also if anyone can ID any of these things I'd be grateful, I haven't been able to)
I got started yesterday around 1:00. Went out to the front by a large tree and started scanning. Got an immediate hit, so I took out a plug, and out of it popped this piece
I think it's a ring? My father seems to think that it's a part of a machine of some sort. The blackish-band spins loosely around the entire ring (but does not come off) and there's a clear '7' marked inside, but nothing else of note.
A little while after I dug this ring, I was over by another tree and my detector started screaming out. I pinpointed the area and noted it was going stronger than I'd heard it before. I dug out another plug, but this time the metal was still in the ground. I looked around in the dirt for about 2 seconds before I saw not one, but two pennies! I quickly looked at one and noticed it was a wheat penny! Oh the delight, to know you're holding a wheat penny and the one you just found right next to it could also be a wheaty! Sure enough, I look very quick and notice the back has those lovely ears. But then my eye catches another penny in the dirt! What Luck!
Turned out to be a 1910, 1928 D and a 1944 D! All sitting on top of each other.
Later on in the day I also found this piece, my father thinks it's a sinker for a fishing line, I really have no idea (the stone seems to have some carvings? And the hole where the metal loop is coming out goes all the way through from top to bottom).
And then here's a couple of finds from the other day. I think the flower thing might be silver and it looks like at one time it had some kind of gem in it. I don't know what size or type those bullets are but I'm finding a lot of them. There's a U on the bottom of them. If anyone has any idea on any of these things I'd love to hear it.
