Just a short comment on your finds.
Not bad, but the "Chomped" Lincoln cents are the newer ones and are almost entirely Zinc.
Depending on soil conditions they will deteriorate to a mear "Halo" in the ground.
The "halo" is the oxidized remenants of an object that has in a word dissappeared.
Leaving nothing but a trace behind that some metal detectors will still pick up.
Those zinc cents can get real toasty to be sure. You should see some that come from the sea shores. Some of those are not much more than "White" discs that you can crumble with a "Pinch" of your fingers.
BTW: Keep going your'e finding "Stuff".
