A few modest finds today on the 1755 farm

[MikeyStwoTimes]

I've been waiting all year for the fields to be cut and they finally did them! I only had about an hour and a half to get after it. I dug my 2nd SLQ ever and love the three ringer. It resembles the Washington Arsenal ones I've dug before, but I think the bottom star was distorted. Any guesses on the threaded C-looking piece? Not sure what it could be. The large dandy button-looking thing isn't a button from I can tell. It's slightly convex and seems to have two rusty spots on the back where maybe it had a connection? I dunno... Lastly, the lead (pewter?) half disc has a little fancy. Bunch of head scratchers here!

Nothing modest about those finds.
Very nice SL quarter you have there!
Civil war bullets are always a welcome find too.
Can’t help on the head scratchers you mentioned, but the item at the top is from a bucket in case you did not know.

The bucket piece makes sense! As soon as I read your comment, I could see it. Thanks for that! And the other nice remarks, I appreciate it!

I love the design of SLQ and the Walking Liberty Half. They should go back to beauty instead of trying honor everybody ever who nobody knows.
Neat finds!!

I can get behind that idea all day long!

The C thing looks like a ground rod or wire clamp.
Installed thousands.
The threaded part screwed into a pad mount or pole type transformer. The broken part was the screw down clamp.
Apparently I'm as old as dirt. Can't find the pic.
This one replaced it.

Yes very nice finds.
