I got out Friday, Saturday. Sunday this weekend. Two different farms. First farm has been pounded to death by me. The second farm has been pounded by me and host of others

Not to much came at the first farm Friday. My second keg spigot from this farm and definitely the newest one I've ever found. I'm guessing circa 1900.

Saturday I visited the second farm. I was hunting some pastures near the old house, one of which I found a Flying Eagle and a Large Cent in last week. I only had a couple buttons and a fistful of foil when I got the nerve to ask the farmer if I could hunt his front yard. There were lots of coin signals, but I couldn't get anything earlier than a couple 1918 wheaties. I also got a 1947 Rosy. Here are Saturday's finds.

I also found a freak of nature. Good thing this pine cone didn't hit someone on the head :laughing7:

Today I went back to the same farm. My shoulder was hurting from the previous two days, so after I delivered a 30 pack of Michelob Ultra to farmer, I spent the first part of the day looking for arrowheads in plowed field. At least I didn't skunked....

After a couple hours looking for arrowheads, I went to the foil field where you can dig foil balls a foot deep :BangHead:
But my first hole was this. Turned to be a toasty Vermont copper.

Here is my total for today. I have no idea what the brass thing with hole in the center is, but it is old.

And finally, here what I found in my Easter basket :laughing7:

UPDATE:
Since making the post, my copper has been identified as a Vermont state copper. Here is a better pic.

Incredible weekend if I were the judge. How many arrowheads have you found over the years?

I've found few. These days I usually find them when I'm detecting plowed fields. Here are some I've put in frames.

Don't know much about dating keg spigots, but it looks like an oldie. A bunch of nice finds!

Very nice complete spigot with no damage. My first was damaged and I want a nice one. Would be cool to find one with the key. Great finds! Gary
 

Some great stuff there- Congrats!
 

Wow! That arrowhead is a thing of true historical beauty! As excited as I would be to find that... the Vermont copper is true rarity. Those are super hard to find even in Vermont! Congrats. I still haven't found VT but I've only been detecting a few years. I hope to VT someday!
 

Nice Vermont. I take it these might be rarity in your parts?
 

To hogge and xcopperstax -

This was my fourth Vermont, all found in SW PA. No real beauties here, and I wrote this latest one off as a KG III until it was ID last night on a Facebook forum.
Here they are from the first one to the latest one.

Outstanding digs!
Love the spigot.... hope you get an ID on the brass item, never seen anything like that
 

Fantastic hunt, congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

Great looking point Steve
Can’t beat a hunt like that
 

Nice finds! The Vermont is awesome! It's funny, they are hard to find in the state they were minted, they seem to have migrated to other states :laughing7:
