Default some bits found yesterday

i have gone on to a new field and after a lot of wandering i finally started getting the signals! and found a couple of bits. i believe every field has a hotspot where workers would sit or people crossed! and when you find this hotspot, that is where to search thoroughly! it took a long while to find the one i hit yesterday so now i must return and cover all the ground! still who knows whats laying out there waiting to be found. here is an 1863 penny, an older george 3 coin (poor condition), a musket ball and one of those lead bullets! a bit of a harmonica, the white thing is part of a clay pipe (sitting on the ground) and a big something though i dont know what it is?? and another bullet case! thanks for looking

Default Thingamagig

SUE, The General Consensus among myself and four friends that have been around for awhile is that your item is a decorative coat hook. Probably made of brass and made to mount on the back side of a door to hang your coat on....PAPPY
