I really think I overdid my digging today.
After the Veterans Day Ceremony at the American Legion Hall, I decided to just walk around the parking lots just to see what I could find. I was finding clad, but it was something different just to not have to dig deep and running the 250 in the coin mode. I hit a spot that continuously blew my eardrums, I started scraping the rocks away and found a penny, another, then another to a total of 20 pennies. I figured some child was heading to the concession stand near the baseball field and lost them. Eye ball find on the concrete a 2007 penny & dime.
Left the Legion, heading home I thought I would stop by the old school (from the 20's) nursing home (40's-70's) building that is to be the Hungarian Settlement School Museum. Visions of IH pennies popping through my mind, that I would find.
The grass needs to be bushhogged bad, my visions slipped to snakes in the grass. I did a quick walk through finding 1 nickel, 1 penny and a aluminum pot lid. http://www.hungarianmuseum.com/Default.aspx?tabid=73 3rd pic/article down. Gypsy, I believe this website will interest you.
Now at home, my urge to hunt for something decent, I decided to hit the logging trail in the back pasture. I never fail to find rusty, crusty iron, but today's digs added a few different things. I found a Pond's jar (broken) but the lid is still readable, and another bottle top, a lead shot and some ornamental scroll iron.
I moved on down closer to the river in the area of the assumed blacksmith shop. I get a big hit of iron, I start digging, digging, scraping, my arm was about the fall off, I can see it I just can't get it out of the ground. I was down about 8" and still can't get a grip. I hopped on the 4-wheeler and headed to the shop to get a shovel, what good did the shovel do?...nothing!! I couldn't even get it to break the soil, ever jump on a shovel & bounce back off? *$#% back to the shop for the post hole digger. I'm killing myself over some stupid piece of iron. I now have a big enough hole to try and get this thing out of the ground. I am so concentrated inside the hole when I looked up again the fog was creeping in across the pasture. I do not like low fog, it's creepy and spooky, I have visions of werewolves and other monsters.
I finally get it out, I have no clue to what it is, it does look like mingled-mangled rusty, crusty chain links. 
Gotta fill the monster hole back up so my cows don't break a leg. I could had easily asked my a$$ to bring the backhoe to help me...too late now, maybe next time.
If it would had been laying flat, I may not had such a hard time digging, but it was like standing up. Doesn't look very big in the pic, but it weighs almost 3 lbs.

You hope it's something good, and you just don't want to give up.
