so i managed another hunt at the old tavern. i have this site almost clean just all the low nickle and pulltab tones left to get.. and i will ;D but i managed to get my 1st bronze cannon, and some cool chicago lead, and my first clear mason jar glass seal lid.. all the others iv ever dug are white. and i dug a neat old hinge and a lipstick tube. but tmro I'm going to work the other old 1800s home barn site. so i hope to score some goods..best of digs to all MR TUFF

cool finds :thumbsup: i found a canning lid b4, looks blue when held up to the light congrats
 

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SAW THE SAME WHITE LID THAT I FOUND AT AND OLD 1800 HOUSE LOCATION.
 

Really wonderful and strange little cannon (with pointed trunnions!) Is it all a one piece casting??
 

Love that cannon, you surely got a ton of relics from that site.
