Best Find Yet!

Hi,
I was out in western Minnesota and checked my great uncles farmyard again. I found a lot of junk, and a 47 wheat, all were in the plug when I removed it. Then I got a good signal in the penny area and when I removed the plug it was still in the ground. I started digging down and at 10" I see a part of a large metal disc. I thought it was an old plow disc and almost covered it up but I removed a little more dirt and saw that it was to small to be a plow disc and dug it out. It looked like more trash, a 4" diameter disc with a few holes in it. Then I fliped it over and WOW, it has old numbers and writing on it so I start to rub off the dirt. It turns out to be a brass boiler gage from an old steam powered threshing machine built in 1876! I haven't found much money yet and my oldest coin is a 1911 wheat, but this find made my whole year! Now I know there must be more good stuff out there. Too bad the freeze is supposed to arrive Monday.
