Went back yesterday and spent another 7 hours hunting. As you can see from the picture I dug up quite a bit of trash/nails. I actually dumped the pouch twice so this is about a third of the trash I dug. In fact 6 of the last 8 coins had nails in the hole with them. I found 2 Barbers 1893 and 1913, IHPs 1896 1904 and 1906. V Nickels 1890 & 1897. A 1924 Buff . A few wheaties 1909 1918 and 1925s. I also found a token of some sort that is the same on both sides, it just has a number 5 and the word points on it. I found a disc that is 2 inches in diameter and has numbers on it from 5 to 10000. it is flat and is blank on the other side. No idea what it is???? One nice round ball as well.
My hunting buddy found an 1819 Large cent and three IHPs.:chaplin:

:wow2: What a hunt Charlie. You just about covered it all with those finds. A huge attaboy and congrats. Mark
 
You had an excellent hunt. Congratulations!
The disc could be a feeler gauge for gaping spark plugs.
 
Wow, nice finds. You did very well!! I can find lots of old big copper but only ever found one V nickel. Congrats!

I had ruled that out as the disc is just one thickness, it is flat.

Thanks Mark. There are some items still here but it is work to get at em. The signals have been sketchy and alot of nails are dug. Many are high toned only in one direction. The 1893 Barber dime had three nails in the hole with it. I actually flipped the plug back in the hole after removing the 2 nails, scanned it again and had to pop the plug out and found the Barber and 3rd nail.
 
Holy Moly those are some over the top cool finds. That largie is in excellent condition. Quite the variety of finds. The round thing looks like a dial plate from a variable adjustment controller. ???? Well done.
