I hunted twice this week or about 3 hours. Monday was an awesome day with blue skies, sun and 55F/13C. Tuesday was cloudy with rain/snow flurries mixed, lots of wind so I had to bag the detector but had to quit as the weather was getting the best of me, still found a few interesting finds! Here are a few finds, left looks like a candle snuffer and is missing a small piece, 2 musket balls, a piece of a thimble, what I thought was a bronze age ring but may be a tractor part and has hash marks on the outer middle, a small shoe buckle that might date to the 1600s.

I think this is an octagonal coin, 17mm in diameter. I have found a few octagonal Regensburg Hellers and they are smaller than this, they were minted through most of the 1700s. There is a small part of stamping visible at the top.

A square copper religious medallion, no idea what it says or who the image is at the moment.
