Blue/Brown Benny and an Injun

[Nana40]

Lisa and I got out for a bit this afternoon to a site that we've been to a hundred times. Only difference was, today there was new areas to play in. The owner of the property is building a log house, so that meant new places to get to.

There was a big mound of top soil that he had scraped off the site, and we had a great time crawling around and getting dirty. There were pottery shards and pieces of glass all over. I got lucky and spotted this great little marble! It's blue with brown rings on the top and bottom. I've never found one multi colored, so a first for me. The only other keeper from that pile was one of the buttons with 13 stars. I've found several from the site that the dirt came from. I asked the owner to give us a call when the dirt goes back down and before he seeded it. We'll see if he remembers.

Some of the grassy areas that we usually can't get to were cut. I found a 1897 Indian and two wheats.. 1948 and '50. The machinery that's carrying the logs to the house has made big ruts in the dirt road and I found a 1964 Canadian cent and a piece of copper with the name 'Taylor Bros" Rochester NY on it. Looked up the name and this may be something to do with thermometers?

Ended the day with a costume ring and some change. Had a great time and hope the great temps we're having will hold out another week or two!

Nice marble and IH! Maybe we ought to send you some more rain to wash the soil down some.

Nice hunt Nana. I too am loving these temps. I took vacation tuesday and found an old house site. I will post those finds this weekend.
Hope the rain holds off this weekend. Maybe we can slip a hunt in between showers.
Good luck.

from the looks of those nice finds,
id say you had a good hunt !!

Nice Brown IH and marble, Nana Hope you continue to find the goodies as progress continues

 

[wheelerite]

the marble is probably a glazed china marble instead of a bennington. I have seen a few of those but they usually had some sort of scene painted on them. Duffy would probably have a better idea. It doesn't seem to have the eyes that bennies have, I believe the chinas are the same time period as the benningtons also. way to go on your finds.

Great job Nana! Glad the weather was nice enough to just dig some holes, I can't wait to play in the dirt this weekend! Your 13 star button looks to be a US Army world war II button. Here is one I found on the net. Keep at it, I love your posts.
