Nice Large Cellar Hole found

Dan and I hunted a couple weeks ago. Per our usual methodology we were investigating potential cellar holes. We finally found a decent one:

The first time there Dan concentrated more on an area that produced lots of wheats and a Mercury Dime for him. Here is what he found:

The second time back he concentrated more on the areas right around the old foundation. He found some neat stuff (sorry no pics).

Here are my finds for the two trips:

Some crusty wheats and an IH:

The IH is pretty beat up:

Found a pill case?

An interesting “Brother” pin. Probably has some age to it.

Dan and I kept finding these octagonal shaped tacks. We wondered what they were. Then I found one pounded into a piece of slate roofing. Also found a couple flat buttons:

Lastly, the other day I had to just do twenty minutes at the LC site after work. Found a wheat penny and this nice old little button:

Cleaned it up and it has some lettering on the back:
