Went out this morning for a little while this morning on my property. Their used to be an archery course here many, many years ago and after talking to a co worker who remembered where some stuff was situated he told me their was a concession stand. Not sure if I located that spot but did manage to find a 1924 wheatie so I may be honing in on it. About 25 - 30 ft from the wheatie I pulled out this hood ornament? which after some googlin' looks like it could be from a 1926 Chrysler Six.







I then went next door to my parents house to snoop around. They live next door, about 1/4 mile through the woods. The same coworker told me their used to be an old 'shack' of sorts up there where they built their house. He remembered playing in / near it as a kid. I thought I had an idea where he was describing and found a bunch of old tin in the ground. Maybe a roof? Then hit this 1890 IH penny about 20 ft or so from it.
