Got a new pin pointer today (other one lost its mind out of pure boredom) and despite the mud and rain I went out back to my mini mine field of assorted metal mysteries.
After locating several targets, and missing them, today was one of those days I was just too lazy to put the headphones on again to better pinpoint the location. Sometimes I just dig holes and let the pin pointer see if anything is hanging around.
Sure enough, found a 1951 D Wheat Penny... one of a small jar full that I've found in my yard, the oldest from 1911.

Found some other odds and ends, including a stainless steel spoon and a "re-found" hook. Every once in a while I'll drop something that I previously dug and then find it again. Yes, it happens.

It looks to be hand forged, with four sides. Based on the measurements, it seems too wide to be a scabbard hook so I'm thinking part of a grappling hook? Musket hook? Tent hook? Cooking hook? Meat hook? Just a hook.....
