Are you guys ready for the Sunday report? Well, you’re getting it anyway. After church, I came home and packed up my detecting stuff and I grabbed the two metal detecting toy trucks. I went and picked up the three little grandkids and their mommy, We swung through McDonald’s to get the sonic happy meals (they ran out of the coveted sonic toys and replaced with some off the wall toy= kids were not impressed) , went to the park and ate. Then it was time to play. None of them wanted to detect. They wanted to play on the playground. So, I changed my coil and dawned my gear and….got caught up in a conversation with the guy in the truck next to me. 😂 When I did get to detect,I dug two targets and then these other kids started coming over and wanted to help. So I went back and got the toys out for the kids and I tried to help them. They were having fun, even though they were just finding trash. It was a blast! I just wish they found something cool, even if it was a penny, they would have been thrilled. I am guessing they were 4-6 years old. Here’s what I dug:

Then I gathered up my crew and took them to my house to wait for Grandpa and Daddy to get home. While waiting, we all went out to find the one Easter egg they didn’t find on Easter. I told them whoever found it would get a quarter. Grandma found it and the 3 did not pay up. Lol.

After they left and I fed grandpa, I went out to the front field. I found lead( what do you call it? Lead shot?), 3 bullets, a cool chain (definitely going on the she-shed) and some cool rocks).

Then the Mr found an egg by the pond and showed me. We have no idea what kind it is.

Mornin all and sundry.

First peek atchain it looked likea horse breastplate. But they were /are not made of chain that I know of. The Y shape though triggered the poor guess.

Could be part of a hames set up.
Is that a toggle on the end of the chain , left side of your picture?

It is a cattle chain. Yes that’s a toggle. There would have been either a ring or elongated link to fasten around neck of cow. The other end that hangs would have had either a tag or cow bell. And I guess, if I understood the guy correctly, it could be hooked when the cow is out in like an open barn so that it wouldn’t wander. An informative day at the antique shop today.
