Another day at dad's farm...
I went to another house site on dad's farm a couple of weeks ago. I took my two boys with me this time. They had a blast digging the holes for me! We found some more glass lined mason jar lids, a knife, a cattle tag, another bull ring?, and some old shell casings.
I've been trying to date the house site using the jar lids but even though they were patented by Lewis Boyd in 1869, they were used by different glass companies well up into the late 20th century. I would like some info. on the makers mark if anyone has any. They bot say "Boyd's Genuine Porcelain Lined Cap" but have different numbers in the middle.
The two old bullets are a W.R.A. 38-55 and an U.M.C. 12 ga.
Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!
