Detector(s) used
Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore mostly or oversized coil on equinox.

Metal Detecting
Got a few hours between the rainy days to go hit 50 quarters. Ended up at 53. But the surprise was the sunburst button. No shank but a visible shank mark on the back. Same area as the Stockton and Burtis philada flat button. Any tips on cleaning the sun burst one? I've been slowly flecking off dirt with a toothpick and a very fine little paint brush. A damp qtip. Any idea on age?
Open to suggestions on that big green thing with threaded base. The one that looks like two halfs of draw pull. Was found near glass door knob.

@ticndig for the threaded green thing or the 2 halves thing? The green thing has a wide whole though it. Figured 21-1876 was a model number and nothing to do with a date.
 

look at the pics , this is my idea of what you've found . I could be wrong . I'm sorry I don't understand your question.
 

2-1-1876 could be a patent date
 

Hello, I think it’s an oil or fluid plug from an Oliver 80?series tractor. its made to loosen and tighten with a monkey wrench/pipe style wrench while holding a missing bolt with box end wrench.

I'll get better pictures up when I get home tonight. Tractor part makes sense as area was farmed up to the 1950s. Photo update on 21-1876 item

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Update. Looking like 2 half object might actually be two draw pulls after all. Got button cleaned up and it's actually a flower design.

Any date ranges on this button style? I definitely don't know buttons. Only two old ones I've found were in this field. No clue on shank style as it's shank is missing.
