Smacked hard on this 1852 Large Cent, plus 1876 IH...so close to the 1877 Chief !

Also a strange carved pointed stone was a surface find (Indian)? Its not metal or graphite.

Crotal (sleigh) bell some filigree and a flat iron.

These are from one of my fields where a house once stood.

Have pulled Indians and relics from here, but when I got a 97/97 on the Deus I thought it was probably big iron. There is no modern junk at all here.

It was a loud signal running 18kHz, 3 reactivity, -1 silencer and had the sensitivity cranked to 94/95.

I may have found a large cent back in the 80's I know I have one, but these parts of Ohio, 1850's or earlier are far and few between, for me anyway.

Nice large one, and other goods. Interesting stone point. Curious about that.
Sounds like a good place to max out your machine, and just dig it all.

Sweet finds. Maybe a spear point or arrowhead on the non-metal.

Thanks for sharing.

The carved stone is very interesting. Looks a lot to me like a seine weight for fishing - is your site near water?
