Found this cool rifle plate today. Script reads "Made by Benoni Hills" Any ideas on it's age?

Found this beauty today! Couldn't be happier!

I found this lead eagle at a cellar hole. Any ideas? Flag topper? Cane Handle?

Got out before the snow yesterday and found these!

Got out between raindrops today. Got a great clean signal at a cellar hole. pulled out a 1847 largie. Checked and still had a signal, pulled out a 1848. Checked again and still had a signal, pulled out an 1857 upper canada bank half cent token!

I also found this monstrosity. It is an old dairy scale for weighing milk. The face is solid brass. I cleaned and treated the insides for rust. Then I repurposed it for this candle holder in our dining room window.

It is a shame about these, but I love finding them anyway.

This was a cool find for the 4th.

A tombac button and a 1837 Hard times token. Smiths clock establishment. The token is holed.

Finally stopped raining long enough so I could get out for awhile. Found a few keepers. The watch is patented 1902. The tiny crotal is my favorite!

Weather was above freezing today so I got in one last hunt. 1805 Draped bust!

I finally got to go back to the farm permission and look what it gave up! The rest of the big crotal bell, a 1959d rosie, a 1878 seated dime, and a 1808 draped bust half cent!

Had a great morning at a cellar hole. 1894 two cent piece, 1865 1hp, 1867 ihp, 1858 flying eagle. Plus a nice floral button and this horse rosette/tack buckle thing.

I have been working a new cellar hole. I never thought I would have found this! In my little corner of the world!
