A Few Fine Farm Finds & a Wilver

These are a few things I found at the 1830's house after work Tuesday, and today at my lunchtime farm.
Today I scored a 1949 Quarter in the same front lawn area I hit yesterday. It was masked by a large iron railroad spike. The old door knob was found in this lawn area too. I had hit this yard in the past, but not thorough, and not gridded off like I just started doing this week. The 49' quarter was found very close to the 39' nickel I posted yesterday. Hopefully there will be more out there.

All the other goodies were from the 1830's house.
Nothing exciting, but a few keepers for my relic displays.
Here we go:

*A 1949 Quarter

*Flat button with shank but no back mark

*Suspender piece?

*A 2" long piece with diagonal lines running through it. The back has some gold gilt still on it, and looks like it was a pin of some sort. Who knows?

*Other asst'd relics.

Thanks for looking,
MM

Nice Score on the Quarter. The door knob is also cool.

No hunting for us this weekend - high in the 20's. :P

Nice digs MM. Isn't is sweet to see the edge of a silver coin peeping at you from the hole

Thanks SF.
You got that right. I love the silver coins. Normally I find dimes, so the quarter was a real treat.

Doug,
Congratulations on a SUPERIOR set of finds...
The door knob is way cool as well as the rest of the RELICS...
And a SILVER quarter is always a nice...
Way to go...
Nick

Thanks Nick.
Do you think there may be some ancient aged Chuck E Cheese tokens to be found at these old farms?

Hope you are doing well.

The buckle reminds me of a WWI era belt buckle??

Thanks Crusader. I have no idea how old that thing is?
I was reading over the Cortes manual and field test on the Tesoro web site today. It sounds like an easy machine to learn, and that's what I need.

Very nice finds and a Silver quarter too, wtg. I think the unknown item looks like a hair barrette.
HH and Gold Luck (yeah that's right, I meant to say "Gold Luck"). HH

Thanks Ant.
Gold would be very nice. I'm due for some.
Love your new avatar Buddy.

Thanks Bob.
We actually got a small dusting of snow last night. I wish we would have gotten more. :'(

In the 50's and sunny tomorrow, but cold and windy this weekend too. I will probably get a quick lunch hunt in tomorrow. That may be it for me this week. I just can't handle the cold like I used to in Northern Indiana. I must be getting old?

Have a good weekend,
Doug

Thank VP.
The quarter was nice, but this particular farm hasn't produced too much old silver yet. I think my oldest silver here was a 1923 Merc. I did find my first IH here though (a 1874), so I may find some older silver one day. It's a great place to hunt very close to work, so I can get my MD fix in about any time which is real nice.
Keep Kirk in line.
