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

Nice two cent coin. Great detail. Amazing how it held up all those years in the ground. Wish we had some corn fields down this way.

Congrats on some nice finds.

Merf,Awesome finds!!! I was excited to see your crotal bell because it looks like an exact match for my partial one.I found a small piece of it a couple weeks ago and was able to identify it then my brother dug a larger piece today and it was a perfect match for the first piece(same area of the woods). Mine has an 8 cast in to the bottom was just wondering what was cast in to the bottom of yours? Also the reeds are cool.I dug one a few weeks ago and it was id'd on the forum as either an accordion or organ reed.If you look with a magnifying glass you should be able to see what key they are in(pic added).Great job!!
