CPT_GhostLight Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Wow, great finds again, F350! Of course the coins are to die for, but that star is awesome and looks really, really old. The brass s-shaped thingy reminds me of a trigger guard on a small flintlock pistol or pepperbox. Well done again! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your next outing. Thanks VL, I pretty much plan to leave all this to the counties, hopefully my wishes will be honored. I've got some pretty good records of where I found it all, legally of course ? Farm hunting is quickly coming to an end this year, gotta get going on finding some more yards to hunt and get ready to go to the beaches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done again! Thanks! The "Reaper" program is really working out for me. ? I think Chase found a similar star shaped object close to where I got that one. Most of this was in a small area very close to an old road that no longer exists. We pretty much walked all around it, I just blundered into the spot ? hope I blunder more here! Gotta get that Farm Hunting 101 article going, still putting it together in my head. ? A few of the farms I have under my belt have old roads, just have to get to them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strick Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Cool find that vintage sunburst celestial star maybe off of some horse tack. The curved trigger guard looks more like a candle holder part? Nice work! strick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the star is a valuable relic, but I am pretty sure it's horse tack decoration stuff. The verdigris is pretty bad so maybe I'll tumble it before trying brass cleaner, it may come out great just doing that. Just bumping up reactivity on the D2 when I'm in a patch like that, even with the 13", I'm pretty confident that if I come back with a smaller coil I probably won't find much more. It tends to snag stuff on the edges, and the sweet spot is right under the XP logo just ahead of center. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
