Hi all, here's the best stuff from half an afternoon around our old 1900's farmhouse with a Go Find 40; 1895, 1926 and 1933 pennies, a silver pocket watch case that I rammed my mattock through, and a lead plug that I found in very old, hard dirt. It looks like it has an aluminium outer, and has a few turns of a thread around it.
I'm at a loss for what the plug might have been used for, I'm sure it's something really obvious. Any ideas? The father in law reckons it could be a Welch plug.
Also, this could just be my lack of technique showing, but pennies seem to be over-represented in my finds, I'm sure that other denominations were lost equally as often. Is it just that they are larger than other coins and more easily detected, or are there really just more of them in the ground?
