I spent three afternoons playing hard in the field and found a few keepers.
A halfpenny, Indian head penny, Large token, three buttons, a cheap ring, civil war era harness buckle cover, and my first silver colored 10 guage casing.
When I found the large token I thought for sure it was another LC. Oh well--I will take it.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf

Just a thought. I wonder what that half penny would have bought back in1850.
Probably about what a dollar would now---Just a guess
Inflation for sure.
 
Hi Merf,

Nice finds, congrats! I couldn't help but notice that your pictures are exceptionally sharp. I feel like I could reach out and touch those coins. Would you mind telling what camera you used?

thanks & HH....Grumbler
