[EDDE]

found 12/24 and today at a new spot
usual trash and odds and ends
old farmhouse falling in on itself
there is a LARGE TREE thats fallen into the one side of the house
a lady in her 70s owns it
drives a nice new Cadillac she used to rent it till the last tenant
trashed it and stole all the wiring go figure
she gave me the green light for a yard search
i was able to do about little over half of the 2 sides opposite of the tree leaning threw
2 Rosie's 53/59
6 wheat's 29 oldest 39/44/46/58 i forget the other off hand
some pocket watch pieces
a lock
thimble
key to a ford falcon
copper lantern mantel
2 marbles
a lens of some sort a rifle scope maybe
3 bucks in clad or so
and an interesting copper sign that i had to unfold and tap out flat with a hammer
also a couple odd pieces that they are pictured they sit on top of the lock
i believe its part of a musical instrument
OH almost forgot a claypipe bowl and about 1/3rd of the stem
that was a cool surprise

wore MY new hat(a diaper with a pom pom on top) and glasses
that i got for X-MAS for good luck

Your musical instrument pieces are reeds from a squeeze box. The copper sign is actually a stencil. I cannot make out what it says, but if it is a name or address of a company it was probably used to mark shipping boxes and crates. If it is a persons name it is possible it is a Civil War soldiers stencil as they were frequently used to mark their belongings. If it is this it is a very good find as they do not turn up very often.

DeKalb,

interesting group of finds.
Silver

Any idea what the copper sign is, or says?

Clay pipe bowl is interesting; will you be
hitting the area again?

Neat hat

have a good un.........

 

[EDDE]

sherm dont think i will
the larger side of the house that most of the newer stuff came from
is back filled abot 12 inchs or so
all the good old stuff
is around the lower fringes of the back fill
i actually hit the old flag stone walk at about 13-15 depending
due to the tree situation i dont think that ill get anymore time in there
so off to the next one
the sign says
KENNARD
&
OUDESLUYS
1211
BALTIMORE,MD.

I see the same as Sherm , Both men listed as Insurance Agents in 1855 from this site.....http://archive1.mdarchives.state.md...2900/sc2908/000001/000219/html/am219--35.html


Or different site of 1851 -1852 MD businessmen Directory lists Kennard as a Tailor and OUDESLUYS as a Hardware merchant

Hehe Dekalb silly man! Love the diaper hat! One might say you have s--- for brains

Oh well... best of luck in the new year and thanks for the laughs!

i know that green piece is so old it came up at 6-7 inch's prolly 1900 or a little earlier
the wheats poped up at 3-4 same as the rosies
but the property has fallen into a sad state of affairs
so i don't think that i will be around there again
the little ole lady is nice but a little senile a little flighty
oh and everyguy that was at the X-mas party got one
