  2. Some Interesting Iron

    Finds are getting a little scarcer at the 1830s farm site. I've started digging more of the iron using the iron audio on AT Pro and expanding my search area a bit. I did find a 1942 wheat cent in a modern coin spill which was an odd coincidence. I am not sure what the iron rod with the slot...
