2-Half Cents, 1 Large Cent

[cannonball]

Yesterday, I went out to look for new sites in the forest. I usually detect with my Deus 2 wide open, Sens-99, Disc.-6.4, Rec. speed 0. While wandering through the forest some very large, fully loaded, C-130 transport planes flew overhead. I heard so much noise in my headphones. As I was looking up while the aircraft flew away the sound continued in my headphones. That sound was the sound of iron in a virgin site. That's the first time that I ever found a site while looking at the sky! I call it Theo-3.
The ground was mostly rock and clay so the coins didn't come out well. It didn't help that some one drilled holes in the half cents. I can't identify the silver bar thingy. Does any one here know what it might be?

That was a good outing, congrats!
I like that the half cents are holed-more character IMO.

Great finds cannonball! The silver piece is quite...weird. Not sure what it could be. Well done on those LC's.

Good work there Cannonball! I am jealous of the Half Cents. The first copper I ever found was a half cent many years ago. 150+ coppers later, still only the one Half Cent. I run my D2 the same way when I am a reconnaissance mission. That bar thing is interesting. I hope someone IDs it.
