Pardon me while I do some catch up.
This was the only find of note from the second half of April(post- computer crash).
Another first for me. I don't get many nowadays.
1853 US 3cent.
May was rough. About a 50% skunk rate.
Strange looking horse shoe.
1907 1912 US ten cents.
A couple 1917 silvers.
Lead seal.
From a new site. These were more than a foot deep and barely made a blip. When the weather cools I plan on taking a few inches of topsoil off the area to see if anything smaller was hiding out of reach of my coil.
174? and dateless 1719-1724 Brit half pennies
Charm's candy Lincoln token
Gold ring inscribed 'Let virtue be thy guide'. All clues say this is from the early 1800s. Maker's mark, no karat weight, other finds, and a saying that was popular in the time.
1825 French Colonies, 1832 US, dateless US cents.
Buckles. The one on the left is a Double loop trapezoidal buckle c1620-1680. Found within a few feet of the Brit coppers and was just as deep.
June
I found these two pieces a week apart and didn't realize I had a match until I looked at the first June picture.
Exactly 3 inches long when assembled.
1864IHC, datelessIHN, 1900 dime, 1824 cent, 1882IHC,1956 dime
The 1824
Had a 4 silver/ 5 coin hole. A new silver record for me but........I also raised the bar for most coins found in one hole.....179 stinkin' Lincolns(no picture).
Buttons and misc..
Quaker bale seal.
British Royal Navy Button 1812 era.
Next round of pointy rocks.
3 inch rock knife.
Today's hunt. I got skunked this morning and came home to get out of the heat when a thunder storm came through and knocked out the electricity. The storm passed quickly and the temperature dropped so I took a drive to see if I could find some new turf. I did, and I hit it for 25 minutes before the nextwave of rain came through.
1912d US dime 1819 US cent, a flat button and 5 more acres to hammer.

YOU SUCK!!!
Nice finds Tim, that 1853 US 3cent is in amazing shape!
pcgs69, I use a White's IDX pro with a 9.5 inch coil. Simple machine under 500, but was discontinued soon after I bought mine.
Woohoo, Thanks Mary, I haven't got a 'you suck' in a while.
