How do i dig up stuff I find with my metal detector without damaging my lawn?

I have a metal detector and i was metal detecting in my back yard and marked some spots where i got hits and I was wondering how i could dig them up without damaging my lawn too bad.

Last summer while metal detecting……?

in my back yard I found an item that was from the 1893 chicago world’s fair, I washed it up and put it away, the metal is turning green, what kind of metal turns green?
Is’nt copper a brownish color? The item I found is a silver color, could that be a plating and the copper is inside?

(pics) Bell with Nail inside it? Metal detected?

I found this in my back yard and I am not sure what it is. It looks like a bell with a nail in it. I think it is only bell shaped and not actually a bell.

From looking at these pictures can anyone guess what it is?
