Hit a few spots and came up with some goodies. The Indians all came from one park, the two 1883's were stuck together and that's why they're in pretty good shape. The 1842 LC and 1914 British penny came from a site where the house was built in 1742. The crotal bells and foreign coin also came from this property. I'm waiting for them to cut the fields because there is another 160 acres to hunt. The 1838 LC and silver bracelet came from a site where the house was built between 1747 - 1757. This is the same property where I found 2 war of 1812 artillery buttons and a 1746 George II piece. They also have a few acres of high grass that's currently unhuntable, but should be cut this week. Keep in mind that both these sites are private property where I asked for and obtained permission in advance. People can always say no to your request to detect, but it seems more often they say yes. Even if they say no you've lost nothing because you couldn't detect there in the first place. I also found about 25 Wheaties, but after finding so many over the years I don't bother with photos of them anymore.

Lots of great finds there, Don! You sure have been lucky with the Indian Head spills. Pretty neat that the two that were stuff together were both dated 1883. They don't have much wear and must have been fairly new when dropped.

Three nice complete crotal bells too!

:congrats:
 
That is a nice bunch of finds. I would love to find a bell and here you have found three. :envious:. Is the king George with the button some kind of giant cuff link?
 
great variety of finds Don , I sure wished we had made our old coppers out of bronze too. they would of held up much better over the centuries.
 
Another great day Don. Congrats. 160 more acres to hunt on the property huh? Those folks may get sick seeing you if you try and cover all of that! :)

Awesome finds! I might be wrong but that spoon may have been to mold butter.

What is that other coin / token?
