I remembered an old homesite in the words from about 35 years ago when I was hunting as a kid. Figured out who owned it and went up there this morning with my metal detector. A lot of metal trash. I found a dug well , But had some brick and concrete on top. Trying to figure out the age of this site is hard. I have found round nails and square nails, modern metal in old forged metal. I did find some pieces of pottery while digging. My two best fines or a nickel plated buckle and an1866 2 cent piece.
I may have to wait until winter, it is a jungle in there !

Here's some of the pottery pieces and doodads. Also any idea what these pieces of metal with the holes in them are? I found these at the base of a very big, the only big, tree

The fact you dug an 1866 coin tells me two things. You've got a great place to hunt. And you've got to go back. Love the coin.

Congrats on that Real Nice 2 center Ohio! I got no idea what those things are with the holes in them. Nice plated buckle too! I'd definitely hit the crap out of that site!

I should add, ALWAYS check your hole. The signal was not good, big iron sound. Low 80's dropping down as it comes off the target on my AT pro. I dug a big part of an iron pot and out of habit, swung the detector over the hole and good signal!! Stuck the pinpointer in and located the 1866 2 cent piece under where the pot was!!

Nice digs

Love that nickel plated buckle and the .02 center is in great cond.

That broken in pieces thing with the holes I would guess to be an ornate sash buckle of sorts
that probably had stones in it (just a guess) but I've seen them like that before.

Congrats on the 2 center, always one of my favorite coins. I think you have a good opportunity with this site, and I hope you can get more good targets out of it.

Very nice, I also found a 1866 2 cent this year.
Congrats!
