Today's Finds

I got out with Con for quite a few hours today, him with the DFX and me using the Ace 250. We searched for hours looking for a homesite in the woods. We finally found it, but it was overcome with thorns and underbrush making it nearly impossible to move about. I did a little better than him with the clock winder and the key plate. The winder is marked "F. KROEBER" "NEW YORK". I did some research and found Kroeber was in business from 1870 to 1904.

We also stumbled upon a bottle dump with some nice cork top bottles from the same time period, but were not equipped to carry them back through the thicket. We also ended up walking in a big circle trying to find our way out of the forest!

Not a good day detecting :(, but it always feels good to get out for a few hours in the crisp December air :).

Happy Holidays and thanks for looking! ;)

As Nana stated. You have done the ground work, learnt something new, & you can save time next outing.
