Hello,
We went out detecting last night at an old house in SE Missouri. It is an old property that is in the original part of town. It dates from the late 1800's. We found a variety of things, but unfortunately, lot's of trash. Thankfully, we have cleaned a lot of it out now and perhaps we will start finding more desireable targets.
Among the stuff I found, was two dog collar pendants. One is marked 1992 and the other has no date, but does name the dog and it's owner. I found them within two feet of one another on the side of the house. Both were only about 3" deep, and I found nothing else around them. Kinda strange...
I also found a teardrop shaped wind chime paddle, and an apparent gun sling eyelet. If anyone knows anything about the age of that, I would like to know.
Finally, we moved about a quarter mile away to a park with a Civil War history. Here, Mastereagle dug a religious statue head that caused quite a stir in an earlier post. I, however, spent my last light digging an old bottle. It has an <I> stamped on the bottom of it, apparently signifying Illinois as the bottling location and around 1920 as the date. Feel free to correct anything I have said. It appears to be a vacuum manufactured bottle. It was seven inches deep and is in great shape. HH

When you get my age, you're lucky you can type at all.
