Hello Friends,
I'm very fortunate that there's a great old-timer I know who's a family friend, and he lets me hunt his property whenever I like. It's an old house that started as a general store in the 1830s, set on about 8 acres. I've mostly hunted the immediate back yard, and every time I dig something awesome comes up.
Most recently, I was there on Mother's Day, and this beautiful old antique bracelet or necklace popped out of the ground. Wiping away the dirt, I saw the glisten of stones underneath, which always gets the heart racing. She cleaned up nicely.
On a past trip I also found one of the nicest buckle-brooches I've dug -- a huge copper one with ornate designs. I've also found some other nice buckles, a piece of a solid silver spoon, harmonica reeds, oil lamps, mason jar lids and all kinds of miscellaneous Victorian whatsits. I'm looking forward to digging there again soon!
Cheers,
Brendan
