First Great Homestead Of The Fall Found On Saturday. Made A Ton Of Finds

Hey everyone,

Hope I don't wear my welcome back to quickly. Saturday, was the first day of fall homestead hunting for me. It still needs to die out some more before I can really get into it.

However, after 2 hrs nearly searching for one of the homes I had on the map. We ran into another witch was great. I am destined to find them all. This one was very nice. Not as old as I would have liked it to have been. But none the less an untouched site. It will need to die out some more before I can really get to all of the site.

It has a great old foundation. And a really large spring house at the bottom of the bluff. I am siting on the wall of the spring house. This site was used heavily. There is broken glass and shards everywhere. Atleast 3 or 4 different bottle pits at this place. Not alot of old coins to speak of though.

This area has a great creek near it. And deer are really plentiful. No need for money at those times. I did find a 1865 indian and a 1903. But the rest was just wheats and a nice franklin half. I was dissapointed though with the half. It's about 100 yrs off from what I would expect for a site like this.

But I will take it. Halfs don't come often. It was a surface find. Came away with some great old strerling what's it's though. Found the most beautiful door knob I ever seen in my life. It is split in half though. Breaks my heart let me tell ya lol. I love relics like these. Found a great heinz watch fob.

It says the wearer will have 57 varieties of good luck and happiness. Pretty cool huh. I might put it in my pocket lol. Got a really nice 1897 barber dime and a 1917 merc. Got a weird silver ring to. The rest is all self explanitory for the most part. Buttons and buckles and such. Hope you all like the pics.

Your photos give me the hots..

I see the marbles mixed in with the other finds. At least several Akro Agate Co. marbles. All are beautiful. Miniature artworks frozen forever in time. A window into a far different societal structure than today's.

OK,

Thanks alot guys. I will check it when I get home from work. It has alot of writing on it. I love to find marbles. My brother found a huge clay shooter at the site. I have more than 300 marbles from just detecting. Would like to know more about them though.

I love to find them. I know there is a bunch more here. They all came from the surface of the trash pits.

Marbleguy do you know a good bit about marbles.

Man you put something on that place!That's one heck of a pile of relics that anyone would be proud of as suggested many times already.I can only imagine the things the two of you(son) will find in the years to come and months ahead.That place turned up some stuff now.Keep at it and I see no reason you can't find what you want at that rate.

Thanks alot guys,

The ammount of time I spend finding these sites you can bet when I find them I'm gonna get every signal I can out of them. Then I will let them sit for awhile. Then I will go back in the future and hit them again.

Make sure to check from the corners of the house to about 3 feet out. Thats a good bit silver there!!! Nice Finds!!!

Re: First Great Homestead Of The Fall Found On Saturday. Made A Ton Of Finds

I will check better on the next trip. I did do some hunting very close to it. Need all the brush in front of the site to die down. You would think stuff would get lost close to the home while they were building it.

Re: First Great Homestead Of The Fall Found On Saturday. Made A Ton Of Finds

Thanks SS,

Lots of hard work has gone into this hobby. It's the only way to keep making finds around here. Gotta put alot of hrs on the comp. Then alot of ft hrs looking for the sites. Once this all dies out there should be more good finds.

Thanks again
