Back to the farms. Part 2

[artyfacts]

Had a full day of hunting at the two farms that I previously hunted. The farms are situated back to back. The V nickels and four dimes all show signs of high temps. Maybe a small structure with a stove. No brick, but melted blobs of tin everywhere, drove me nuts. The decorative silver buckle was bent and not broken until my daughter tried to fix it. I showed it to her and within 15 seconds I heard opps. I asked her why, her response, why did you hand it to me. Lesson learned, again. Part of a 1835 capped bust 1/2 dime. Three coppers including a 1749 1/2 cent. Large cents, and Indians to boot. A beautiful 1746 1/2 reale at the end of the day. The large medallion has a piece of machinery pictured on it, Ayar's Double tomato canner. Watch winders and lots of buttons and smalls.

Awesome saves. looks like you have some great hunting grounds. You sure did pull a lot of great targets. Where these finds from the fields or the current home sites?

The fields had 4 homesteads, now 5, that where on the properties. Now there just fields. There are still two original homesteads present.

Another great day in your fields Art. Quite a variety of eras there. I would find it difficult to leave a spot like that.
