Had an awesome hunt this weekend over two days on a new permission that doesn't seem to have been detected. There was no trash either which is the best feeling (had 1 modern soda can only)! haha Lots of iron in the ground and had to work really slow to hear anything. Found many of the good finds on the outer edges of the homesite where the iron signals weren't as overwhelming. Also found my most valuable coin so far, which was sitting right on top of the soil in the bean field. It's the 1849-O Seated Liberty quarter. Turns out they only minted 16,000 of this year at the New Orleans mint (I included a screenshot of an article about it).
Also found: two civil war buttons (one cuff button and one coat button), an 1835 capped bust half dime that is bent almost as if it were bitten, an 1859 Indian head cent (included with a comparison photo with another Indian head cent from 1873 to show the thicker composition of copper in the 1859 cent), a civilian cuff link with what looks like a floral design possibly, an 1852 large cent, and a beautiful flat button with some gold gilt still in the depressions on the back mark. Not depicted were a few other flat buttons that weren't preserved as well.
