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!

Taylor Instruments is still an instrument manufacturing company. Although they originated in Rochester, NY (1851) they were bought out and moved out of state years ago. They make all sorts of commercial intrumentation but are also known for their barometers and thermometers. They also make scales, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a part to a barometer.

Nice finds for just digging in the dirt!
