    Was the unknown piece the top of a lantern where the wick comes out? It looks like the right size for the slot, but I don't know why it would have that extra little bit cut out.

    Hey, you should have a hit TV show ! There are two rich brothers that pick up debris left behind from over 2 hundred years of occupations , over a dozen documented working homesteads, and the associated artifacts dropped or discarded by hundreds of people known to have lived, built, and farmed, the Island. They claim everything they pick up, is part of a treasure. Even old nails. Just make up a story, it doesn't have to even make sense. Oak Island doesn't, and is a hit.

    When i was a kid.. probably 45 years ago, I grew up on a rural mountain where my parents still live. I was waking home from school near the top of the hill just off of the paved road in the dirt and kicked up what I thought was a bottle cap. Turned out to be a walking liberty quarter. I remember exactly where I found it. Worth going back with a metal detector?

Just when I least expect it, another FIRST presents itself! In my experience, the fencers kind of mess with tones…and maybe even makes VDI's appear higher than normal. I was expecting a lot of those pennies to be dimes, but never found one? Good luck out there!
