farm

Finds are getting a little scarcer at the 1830s farm site. I've started digging more of the iron using the iron audio on AT Pro and expanding my search area a bit. I did find a 1942 wheat cent in a modern coin spill which was an odd coincidence. I am not sure what the iron rod with the slot...

Found this old button on my families property. I know that it has been a farm since the at least the mid 1800s. would love to know if anybody has some info on this button. I did not see any number/words or identifying marks on the back. Also if anybody has any good resources for looking up old...

My buddy found this in what was once a farm until around 1970. I believe it’s iron. It is pretty heavy. There are no makers marks on it. I used a can of soda for size purposes. He attempted to remove some of the rust with Naval jelly which explains the whitish color. It was really closer to...

This isn't silver or gold but it's certainly been entertaining to unearth. A couple weeks ago my hunting buddy found the large piece and I thought that was pretty cool but I returned this morning and found 4 more pieces which include 3 weights and the weight hanger. I hit the '100' weight with a...

I was hunting some old farm land yesterday and hit a signal which I thought for sure was a quarter but out popped this guy. I must say that at first glance in the dirt, I really thought I had found a gold coin.. probably my biggest burn to date. :laughing7: These were handed out at SHELL...

I am new to metal detecting and I would like to see if anyone knows what this is. I found this item on a farm in west Georgia. Any and all suggestions of what this item might be is appreciated.

I dug this big old wrench out of the yard of my childhood home, it was about 5" down, under some roots. My father passed away a couple of years ago so unfortunately I can't ask him. I've got a few old tractor and wagon wrenches but have not been able to positively identify this one. I know that...

Hey guys, I found this today while metal detecting with my AT Garret Pro in a field next to a farm and it was hitting around "84" and "32". It was also around 12 inches deep. I think it may be some sort of farm tool or maybe something obvious but i have yet to discover what it actually is. I...

Just came across this website and already know I'll be visiting frequently... Anyway, I found this a couple months ago in an old farming field near a river in NC, looks like it was made of concrete? Any idea what it could be? A weight? :icon_scratch: Any suggestions/advice is appreciated...

Well when i was a kid behind my dads house was a corn field then woods. At the beginning of this wood line was an old dump and we would dig for bottles and just milk jugs and coke bottles and what nots, but now that I am older and realize there is value with some of the stuff we found I am not...

I found this today while metal detecting with my new Ace 250 on an 1800's farm. I found it near an old stone house near the main farmhouse. It was only about 2 inches below the surface but the area floods each spring. Not sure what it is. It has "55" stamped on the various parts. Thanks
