Today's hunt had me doing "cartwheels"!

[~ACE~]

Hey folks. Put the E-Trac through its paces today and it served me well once again! Scored a coin that it totally toasted (no ID), an IH that has seen better days, not one, but TWO 1797 Cartwheel pennies!!!, a gold gilt button, a silver plated? button, silver plated spoon (1847), a kids military toy, buckle and a cool shaped whatsit. Wish I could have spent longer than 2 hours there! Thanks for looking. HH

Congrats on your awesome finds!!

Nice finds. Better get that IH shined up! I'll bet that's an 1877!!

 

[~ACE~]

I wish Mason Jarr!!!!! It's a mess. It may take a bunch of HP baths. Fingers crossed

Excellent bunch of fines! I believe your cool "whatsit" is what remains of a "Jew's harp". It appears as the reeds are missing.

Nice finds, one of these days I am going to go where I might have a chance to find something that old.

Nice finds for sure.
Looks like the whatisit is possibly a mouth Harp?

Presumably you're detecting in Britain?

Thank you! And just a quick update on the IH... It's an 1859 fatty...or was a fatty...not so fat anymore but I can see a date now!
