I was driving around for work and had some time to kill so i took a dirt side road where i was told a foundation was by a local fisherman. In no time i spotted where it had to be so parked and went in. It was a big area but i found the house foundation and later on a big barn foundation. After a hour i had to go but it produced some positive signs. I know there is way older finds and i feel i literally just scratched the surface there. Sucks its over 2 hour drive from home but i do work there twice a year for awhile . I found some buttons, pocket watch, 1919 large cent, a weird thing that says “O.D. Shank pat.1905” and the find of the hour which was a nice sterling silver match safe with a picture of a early biplane flying over a landscape scene. Maybe someone will id the exact model of the plane but there are a few that look very close. To bad the top is missing but i will for sure try to look for it next time. The only thing i could find on the “weird thing” is a online a picture of them with a type of key that says they are horse toe weights? Mine has a number 4 so maybe its a size? Thanks for looking!
