My first finds

[Mona Lisa]

I received my detector for Xmas. We did have some amazing weather here in PA for a few days. Here's what I found in about 3 hours of hunting. The coins aren't old. The round thing has a picture of a St. Bernard in it. The glass is about 1/4" thick. I'm also showing the back. I think that maybe it was a pin. Can you see the St. Bernard?

looks like old abe, thanks for posting. Ask the moderators for help on pictures, I'm not that good at it myself.

I was in an antique shop once and seen a cast iron Boston terrier for around 300.00. I would imagine if this were an antique of some sort it would have some kind of value.

Neat finds! Like the doggie pin! What type area did you find your treasures?

could be a rosette worn on a horse's bridal. Nice finds!

I found these in my yard. (along with shell casings, square nails and other "junk") I live in a farmhouse built around 1870. Between the house and the road, we have a hitching post and a carriage stone...a large cut stone to step off the carriage onto. I found this there, so it might be something from a bridle.

Unfortunately, a few years ago we landscaped the back yard and brought in 70 truckloads of fill. But we do have plenty of area we can still search.

It is a bridle rosette. I found similar ones under "google". Not as old as I hoped though. Just from the 1960's. Thanks for your help.

keep it up, if your home dates back that old you are bound to find things from that period. Remember swing slow and even and you will detect great things.
