Finally getting on the fields

[Reiska]

Poor house. I detected all around it last year. Glad i didn't do that this year. That wall looks heavy.

It dates back to at least 1850 but i'm thinking more like 1750. It saddens me to see it go away.



There's that marker stone from last post. The land around it has been ours for over 400 years now. Excited to see what they've left for me to find.



Not too much to see here. Nice 1700's knife handle. Couldn't find the last piece. It was scattered all across the field.



Tiny bit of possibly silver. Could be a wire coin. Never found one.



First finds from the harvest. This field is a bit closer to where the buildings used to be.



Skilling from 1802.



More tomorrow.
