The Corn field gives up a two cent piece.

[Merf]

Greetings fellow dirt fishers.
I hunted a corn field that I had found a couple of Indian heads in last fall and found this coin and a few relics. The broken spur is brass. The item with the little lever at the top is a puzzle.
Any ideas on the ID are appreciated.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf

Sweet coin Merf! That's how I want my 2 cent piece to look when (or if) I find it. Would be graded F-EF (porous). What was the history behind that cornfield? Did you know it was farmed in the 1800's?.

Merf, wonderful group of finds!! I love the spur & that 2-center

When I look at that HUGE expanse acreage in your photo, I ask myself, where would I
want to loose a 2-center back in the 1860's so someone could find it 145 years later?

Well done!
