Thought I found Gold

[NAGOLOCOP]

Well I took advantage of the great day(1'c), Got up at 6am and was detecting by 7am. Never thought I would be detecting again this Year. I never even got cold the 5 hrs I was out. The only down fall was that the ground was soooo wet from all the rain we had.

I got the gold target near the end of my hunt reading 62-64 and not a solid signal, but decided to dig it. It got the heart pumping when I saw it.
The first pictures are still in the hole.

I also found a 1890 IH, 1919 Lg cent, old copper with no date and some other odds and ends.
The padlock was also a cool find.

And the copper Item that I found looks like some sort of badge, Maybe somebody has seen one before.

Would have posted earlier but had to go Christmas shopping with the wife.

Thanks for looking

you may not have gotten gold but you did find a couple of cool old colonial relics . the "badge" is a type of mount either attached to leather (similar to a horse rosette) or could even be part of a horse bit ( a bit boss) . either way its old and probably colonial . the oval buckle-like item I would love to see a few more pictures (a side view and close up of the top and bottom ) , its an interesting piece.

No gold but some great items, love the lock. Hunting 5 hours in December and not getting cold is fantastic.

Great Job. That Canadian Large Cent is a cool find.
I also think that little lock is a very cool piece.
