Detecting finds from an old farm house.

I had a few hour the other day and here is what I found. I like the old nails. Also, a couple of inches above the 1925 P Indian Head nickel were some nails and a 1947 P nickel. I learned from an old timer to always swing back over the dig just in case something was masked from whatever sat above.

Cool and yes always check your dig just to make sure 👍
Thanks @johnny9434 it happened again today by the River bank. I was getting a strange signal and dug it anyway. The first item I got was a 22 rim fire cartridge. Checked the hole and still had a signal. Underneath the cartridge was a 1944 wheat cent. The cartridge has a diamond symbol and don’t know who that maker is yet.
Yesterdays find.
I'd love to have talked to the previous owner, just saying
Dug one similar, a 44 as well, that is left in the change tray. I hope it'll get a newbie in 👍
Note: that was 4 days ago to. Omg, its terrible 😭
@johnny9434 thats one of my main thoughts when finding old item. I wonder about the person that had or used to own this item. What were they doing, where were they headed. All of the possibilities keep me looking for more.
I found this by the Lilac bush. The base is definitely lead and it’s about 3” in diameter.
I was detecting with LordMarcovan once and found 3 Washingtons in a 6 inch deep hole...definitely pays to keep swinging.
