Had a full day of hunting at the two farms that I previously hunted. The farms are situated back to back. The V nickels and four dimes all show signs of high temps. Maybe a small structure with a stove. No brick, but melted blobs of tin everywhere, drove me nuts. The decorative silver buckle was bent and not broken until my daughter tried to fix it. I showed it to her and within 15 seconds I heard opps. I asked her why, her response, why did you hand it to me. Lesson learned, again. Part of a 1835 capped bust 1/2 dime. Three coppers including a 1749 1/2 cent. Large cents, and Indians to boot. A beautiful 1746 1/2 reale at the end of the day. The large medallion has a piece of machinery pictured on it, Ayar's Double tomato canner. Watch winders and lots of buttons and smalls.

The fields had 4 homesteads, now 5, that where on the properties. Now there just fields. There are still two original homesteads present.
