farm site finds. LC, IH, and silver thimble..

[jughed440]

Hunted a virgin 1800s farm site that is now a plowed field (using the basic coin setting and a few minor tweaks). Found more tin scrap than anything, but i did mange to score a sterling thimble (nicked by a plow, i assume), Also shown in the pics are the holed large cent (too rough to read the date), a 1864 IH, a British tool maker's emblem, some play money dated '49, a slug used for target practice, and a belt buckle sized plaque with a western scene. Found a few pieces of brass too.

I love silver thimbles, it's art and it's silver. It's like two finds in one!!!

Thanks!!! Since I strictly hunt old home sites, the thimbles should be more common.
