We are buying a new house (well, new to us !) that was built in 1900. We don't close until October so I cant hunt the grounds yet, but as I was going over the pics of the house I noticed these in the fireplace. The couple we are buying from are in their 90's and are leaving a bunch of stuff behind including these Hessian Soldier Andirons which the husband claims to have been in the house when they inherited it in the 40's. I'll try and get a close up pic when I go back later.

I bet you can't wait to hit the backyard ;D Should be some goodies out there!
 

Thanks all! Can't wait to detect the yard and check out all the little nooks and crannies in the house!
 

Funny, I thought that looked like Mass and then looked at where you're from. Ayup. I'm about 30 miles or so north of you. Have fun hunting that place. Bet you'll find some nice goodies!
