Great finds Luke. Kettle will probably look awesome after some electrolysis. Love the silver plated rosette as well. I also found a cool silver plated rosette a few years back (see my 2013 album, http://www.americandetectorist.com/f...php?albumid=19) but mine isn't nearly as old as yours. Congrats!

Well I did see your first one cuz I see I commented on the thread but I swear I saw one that looked the same after cleaning. Your first post had no cleaned pic. Maybe it was Dave? I'll let ya know if I find it.
Oh , there was a tent spike I found kinda near the water fountains. It was bangin cuz it was near the surface. The Garrett wobbles with surface targets that must overload it. The BH doesn't care on surface targets and overload is more like "limited".Originally Posted by Pacivilwarluke
I did have the iron spike to show, along with a giant lead slag found there and an unknown metal slag found at a nearby 1939 school. After seeing your reply I was even contemplating something like Ringling Bros possibly performing there in early 1900s, but those tent spikes are huge...so no go there.
WTG Luke! Love that Gilded Button!

hmm, your spike is intersting! I think it looks a lot like a railroad spike, but Te middle of a town green is an odd place for one!
