Old farm house finds

[mchamby]

I had a chance to go back to a farm house that I detected around a couple of weeks ago. The caretaker had given me permission I just couldn't go anywhere near the barn because it is falling in. On this trip I found a neat brass bell but the bottom 1/4 was missing. I also found a metal tag that says M0163-K4 6 Spreader.
I found 2 wheat pennies 1940 and 1942 and a metal heart that is engraved with my heart belongs to daddy. There is some gold still on the back so it must have been plated and wore off over time. The bent butter knife says Holmes and Tuttle on the back looks like silver plate but mostly wore off. I also found 5 clad quarters, 9 clad dimes and 13 pennies and one nickel. It was a nice day out and a good thing I took advantage of it because all it has done is rain since. HH

thanks all, I hope in the next two weeks to get back there one more time. There is still a section off to the side of the house that I haven't hit yet and hope to find more neat things.
