I got back to the old homestead site again on Friday afternoon and made a few more interesting finds. Through researching old 1878 maps of the area I found there was a house located here until at least 1920. What's unusual is the lack of square nails that have been found here, I'm thinking the home was most likely a log structure. I found a brass horse bell, 2 - Canadian LC's dated 1903 & '07, a religious pendant, what is likely a collar badge featuring what I feel is a trolley car & a pair of fancy matching brass coat buttons. The buttons were found about 5' apart of each other, if anyone has an idea of when they might date from I would appreciate hearing from them!
Thanks very much for looking,
Dave
