Township parkland/former farm

[Gene Mean]

I've been hitting a nearby towns open space. It's an old farm that belonged to a friend of Katherine Hepburn. Metal detecting is not allowed but I detect the open fields across the street from the house and the township guys just wave to me. I had a good couple of days last week.

Nice coin weight but nothing on the obverse.
Found silver.

Nice gilt flower button and a plain one


A MOM button from 1800s? I live in Monmouth County so I think it's MCM or MCH actually


Design caught my eye on this for a sec but it's been Id'd as half a 'Yankee' padlock

Here's a non dug one

Also found a plain dandy and a nicely bent fork.


Also a 1960s Sunoco token.

A decrepit ladies brooch.

Nice haul, looks like you’ve pulled in a good variety from that field!

Thank you. These finds are from several weeks worth of time out in the fields. And since I didn't expect to find much I'm happy with my take. Not done yet.

Lot's of colonial and Rev War activity in NJ...you never know what you might find in a field.

I'm not sure thats a Coin Weight. I think it's a Bullion Weight. Worth researching further.
