Not a whole lot today BUT, this is a new place and it dates back to the 1850's. So, I'm hoping to be able to share some nice finds. It is a very large place and the potential is great as it's VERY private and apparently the soil has never seen the underside of a coil! Cross your fingers.
Only obtained permission today and had about an hour or 2 to check it out before dark. I just did a wandering about the area. Near the mansion, (yep! he said mansion! ), the front yard area, the rear yard area, near the stables, the worker's quarters, etc. Just a slide through looking for obvious hits and checking out the different soil make ups. Didn't turn up much but what I did find does look promising.
First coins I dug, Play money. LOL
Dunno, maybe part of a watch?
A couple bullets and a fishing weight.
I think it should be against the law for bottle caps to have a reeded edge! Might cause some unsuspecting soul a heart attack!
A tombac button? Seems in rather good condition, might mean the ground is kind.
Whatcha think? Part of a cap gun or maybe the culprit that fired one of these bullets? LOL
Looks like it was plated at one time.
Funny, every time I see a bad guy throw his empty gun back over his shoulder at the good guy, a beeping sound starts in my head. Maybe I finally found one?
Oh, and there was 2 wheaties up there too, someplace.
In any case, the place looks to be very fun for quite some time.
Wish me luck!
Thanks for peeking.
HH!
