There ain't no hole in the bucket, Dear Liza, dear Liza
Nope...ain't no hole. Well as far as I can see at this point.
I haven't posted in a long time mainly because I hunt lumber camps and other historic sites in northern Michigan and I figure there's little interest in these types of finds.
But I have been digging a good number of Indian cents too. Nothing outstanding like what I'm seeing posted here these days.
But, I'll make this an exception.
I was working one of my better lumber camp sites today. It's now a rundown modern residence but I have permission to hunt the entire property. Back in the 1890's the lumberjacks lived at this location and did some of their blacksmith work here for the great lumber baron David Ward. I've even dug meal tokens here with Ward's name on them.
This is an old bucket and I plan to restore it and it will eventually end up in my office as a magazine holder.
The little dogie was found about 7 inches deep on my way to the hunting site. It looks like an early game piece? It's about the size of a penny.
The round tin in the last picture has something heavy inside. Any ideas on how to open it without killing what might be inside?
Thanks for your time.
