Had the day off today.Shirked my chores at least for a couple hours and made my way back to a razed foundation about twenty minutes into the forest (by foot).Thought this might be a good site given the limited access but I couldnt find anything of interest around the old place.Nice stone barn and home foundations and all I could come up with was a couple canning jar lids.The keepers Ive pictured were found on the trail/horse path leading in.Got a 23 Buffalo, a 41 Wheat,a nice plumb bob(General store mfg. co. ,NY.),a couple whatsits, and a large,star design shaker lid with a bullet hole.(seems to be made of lead??).Also an Avon perfume bottle.Not the best digs but a nice adventure on a beautiful day...Thanks for lookin....H.H....Joe

Very nice finds! That plumb bob sure cleaned up nice! Any idea how old it is?
Given that there was still string attatched I wouldnt think it was very old.Kind of an odd find out in the middle of the woods.

An absolutely awesome post!

Well done jopher!

Being a history buff I love these kinds of posts. Personally, I like relics about as much as coin finds.

Also the pictures and cleaning were very well done.
