Another Beautiful Day in Bama

Nana40 · Oct 2, 2006

Went out to the same site as I found the button last week. Spent three blissful hours there. It's so nice and peaceful and I hated to see dark arrive. Anyhow, I found another couple of buttons one had 13 stars and is the size of a dime, an Indian/Buffalo nickel..can't read the date...it was under a pine tree and the acid did a number on it $:-\$ and a 44 wheat, a key that has Hilgren LosAngeles on it, and a bullet, a couple of buckles, a neat little face plate off something...looks like a hole in it for a key to fit in...shotgun shells and a bunch of other stuff.

No! You didn't, ERIC! 8) You better find something AWESOME at the hunt, ya know!

And I don't know about the buckle.

Hey RR....that might be a step up from Bullet Queen.

Bama is just awesome right now, Bird. The weather couldn't get much better! Come on back home, and let's go huntin!

Thank you Marty!

Went back out today, stayed a few hours and found a couple of keepers. First one was the required Tax token. Ya know if you hunt older houses in Alabama, you are required to find at least one tax token.

Then I found a dog tag dated 1961...thought that was neat. And this is all the regular change that I have found here so far. The owner of the place, who is just a sweeheart, says that there have been three owners that he knows of that lived here, and "You ain't gonna find much here", "They were all tighter than bark on a tree!" he said.

He's right! Not many coins to be found here.

The rest was junque and shotgun shells. Got a few pictures....anybody know the name of the fruit in the pic?

They are ready to pick.

Thanks again ya'll!
