Today managed to find a few goodies. Found two bullets that have been cut and a assortment of shrapnel. Also found a button the little handle thing (beside the penny) and little around thing with the tabs sticking out in the same hole. Hope someone can identify the button can of hard to see. Took a couple different pictures of it looks like it has a man on each side and some writing. I have looked through a loop and cannot for the life of me figure out what it says. The copper sheet was a few feet from the buttons looks like it either has silver or maybe silver solder on it. That was all I could find of it there was a lot of nails a round these items the AT- Pro sorted it out pretty good.And by the way the penny is a 1918 D that I got back in my change today.:lol:Update Did a little cleaning on the cut bullet and come up with what I think is a carving. Course I may be wrong but it looks like a bird carved into it. Tell me what you think

Terrific finds, Bergie! I believe the button is a Maine button. And the item next to the Penny is a shoulder scale key. I can't really tell by the pic if the bullet has been carved, or just lots of wear on it. Your jaking some great finds at that spot - I'd keep hitting it
