Three Firsts in One Hole!!

[dkw]

I hit a couple of spots today. The first one gave up a couple of wheats '19 and '35, the brass heart buckle cover (or bedroll buckle) depending on which side of the argument you listen to, and the piece of flat lead wrapped around a copper wire. Any ideas on that one?


The second is a house across the pasture from me. I'd hit it before but not very thoroughly. It gave me the obligatory clad.


And then my first silver coin, first buffalo nickel and first multi-coin hole. About 8 inches down.
No date Buffalo, 1942 S nickel, 1948 nickel, and four wheats '32,'44,'45,'47.


All in all not a bad day out.

Those heart buckles sure seem to be jumping out the ground lately. I found two last November and have seen several posted since. You sure that is lead around that wire thing? It looks like an electric fence insulator.

Nice digs. Keep up the good work

Lead around bent wire loops? Homemade fishing weight perhaps? At the very least, something to attached to a string or wire between another string or wire.
Just my 2 cents.

I was thinking an electric fence insulator as well, I bet thats what it is. Or not

Nice finds, I am still waiting for two feet of snow to melt here in Minnesota.

I just love multi-coin holes....Now to find a old one

I'm positive that it's lead wrapped around copper. My best guess was a homemade fishing weight. There is a decent creek about 200 yards from the homesite. The lead is pretty oxidized. How long does it take for lead to start turning white?
