Howdy folks, I went back to the quarry owned farm today where I found my third eagle plate last week. I managed a few more bullets including a gardner, a burnside, and a nice three ringer. Also found an E.Miller & Co. lantern piece, some buttons, including the BIGGEST large flat button I've ever found, some type of brass tap, and some type of linked whats it.
After lunch I went on a part of the property I hadn't been on yet, but was told that a main wagon road used to go through there and had an accompanying old stone wall. After walking a good bit I finally found it. It was getting late in the day so I didn't get a lot of time to hunt this area but it looks like it has great potential for coins and what not. I did manage to find what looks to be a scabbard tip. I found that and a ton of those blasted old shotgun caps. Sorry Turtlefoot, I know you love em, but they are the bane of my detecting endeavors in the woods. You just have to dig em cuz they sound so good. I also found this nice set of 8 point antlers.
The last pic is a crazy looking shot of an area of the quarry where they have basically mined out an enormous cave area. For what reason I'm not sure.
