Here are a few finds I came across. Nothing too crazy to speak of but I enjoyed getting out...

I've a mix likely spanning 125 years. The house seised to exist in the 1880's, so the buffalo is a later drop.

Here's the Indian. Probably one of my nicest ones ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1479432064.447860.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1479432075.459221.jpg

And the barrel tap key...

Thx Jeff. It was almost perfect besides some edge chipping and a tiny bit of surface corrosion....

The barrel key is killer Scrappy, and yes, that IHC is a sweet one.

I am going to refrain from saying anything about the spelling error, but it difficult.

Best of luck in the field!

Nice job on another keg key man :occasion14: The soil in my area is kind on the IHPs and I end up with most of them coming out nice rather than toasted.
