I found this a couple of weeks ago at a location where my detecting buddy and I have found many pieces of iron and brass pieces of horse tack, buckles and other items. The site is not mentioned in any of our local history books and no one seems to know the reason why so many people obviously visited there in the late 1800s and early 1900s. We've only found two coins there after probably 12-14 hours of hunting. He found an 1893 Indian Head Cent at 4" and I found a 1914-S Barber half dollar at about 9" No modern coins at all.
This item is made of solid, heavy brass and its circular base is 2.25" in diameter. I found it with my Ace 250 just a few feet away from where my friend dug 21 pieces of horse tack and a few other unidentified iron and brass objects.
