I know there's no excuse for not getting out much to detect, but it seems lately I just haven't had the chance.
Here are some of my finds from the last few hunts. Some from the 1800 plantation property pasture, and a few from the 1818 property soybean field.
I guess my best digs were the 3-ringer and the two arrowheads (surface finds). Nothing too exciting.
Any idea what kind of buckle this is and from what era? It was found close to the 3-ringer. CW troops camped here, but I have no clue if it is that old?
The highlight of my weekend was being able to dig through an old shed that was falling apart at a house that was being sold.
I was given the green light to take whatever I wanted, since the owners were going to be renting a dumpster and just throwing everything away. Besides a dried possum, I found a lot of neat old things including this cast iron 15 gallon cooking pot, and a butter churn crock with a "3" on it.
Any idea of the age or value of either of these two pieces?
Also found old bikes, trikes, chairs, two man wood saw, tools, and much, much more.
I felt like a kid in a candy store.
I just set up a booth at an antique store recently, so some of these things will come in handy.
Thanks for looking & have a great week folks,
MM

), the crock storage jar....check it really good to make sure there's not a makers mark or potters mark on it...some of those sell from $100-$300, look on the cornbread cast iron pan to see if it has a name, those usually sell for at least $15-$20, those old tricycles are awesome---I bet the American Pickers guys would buy those in a heartbeat---and is that a bicycle frame I see? You know how that skinny guy on "Pickers" is always digging those out to buy! (You should research those if they have names). The wooden cannisters(flour, sugar, ect.) sell for about $20-$30 for the set, the wooden gameboard is really collectible too--it might be worth $25-$35, even those old windows and doors are selling good---people love to use them to decorate with or if they are fixing up old homes, and that old wagon is really cool--lots of people use those to put potted plants in or as decor for a childs room. 
Good thing you got a booth at the antique store---but you might need more than one!
