Through research I found there was likely an early structure located here, maybe some type of an early barn due to the lack of nails in the soil... I didn't find a single one! It was probably already gone by the time the 1878 map I'm using was printed. I found a couple of early buttons, a horse shoe, a dropped three-ring bullet and my first ox shoe in four years!
If anyone can tell me what the pointed iron piece with the round loop in the upper right corner of my 'finds photo' is, I'd appreciate it!
Also, just wanted to show you a picture of the amount of horse shoes I've dug over the past 4 years of farm hunting... my first year I only detected parks. To-date, I've dug 18 iron horse shoes, 3 aluminum race horse shoes, 3 ox shoes & 2 complete horse bits. I never get tired of finding horse shoes!
Thanks for looking,
Dave
