    New pounded park still gave up a few keepers

    Hi all! I tried another small late 1800s park that apparently was pounded pretty hard. Its a tough place to detect because its loaded with bent nails, wire, etc. The first find took almost an hour, but started with a very nice 1945D Merc. Great to start with silver!
    Not too far away I got a bouncy mid 10-30s at 8 inches. I was very surprised to see a very clean 1902 IH!
    It took almost an hour to find my last 2 keepers, a 1918 and a 1947S wheat. Works for me! I also found some odd junker heart and a pretty cool old pin with a citrine and blue inlay.
    Lastly, I found an odd piece that looks like it was nailed to something. It has what looks like a dog or pig snorting above a horn. Any ideas?
    Not shown is the clad and a chunk of lead. The last pic was an eyeball find. Total time was about 3 hours.
    Thanks for reading, GL&HH!

    Congrats on the successful hunt! Those old coins came out of the ground looking nice.

    The emblem thingy looks like it has a dog on it. I think his nose has been smashed in, perhaps making him look like a pig. I suspect it has something to do with hunting, with the dog and the horn. It's very interesting, whatever it is!

    I was thinking more like dog droppings! Actually it was found among wet leaves, so probably colored from that.
