Decided to take a walk up in the hills again to see if I could find another spot to detect. Slim pickin's up there and almost everywhere has been detected and dug but found a few odds and ends.

A few mystery items there like the round disk with the hole next to the crucible and the non-metallic hex shaped cap thing above the pipe bowl. There's a metal button just above that and the copper square thing was just one of about a dozen of those (no markings on them).
Got a .41 rimfire and another mystery item next to it. Kind of shocked there were no coins found.

I brought the round bottomed Dublin & Belfast ginger ale bottle home to show the wife as she's never seen such a thing.

that county is FILLED with relics in every direction... just take a walk in a straight line... I know of a pony express road out that way, later stage coach road.
 

Loving that old bottle.
Do any of those square pieces have a small nail like pin on the center of them? Roofing tacks?

Nope, just a copper square.
