Just a couple of things I found over the weekend, and suffering from a sunburn on my head and poison ivy to boot, but no ticks. this field has a lot of potential BUT it is slated to be developed

starting in July, so little time hope to get back there this weekend, thanks for looking Dean

This is so weird but I found a bit of a spoon with the same design about a week ago. Any ideas on the age?

Whoah, pushing a couple hundred years, do you think? Cool, there has to be some more stuff there--IMO.

Thanks Boondocker for posting and answering back. :thumbsup:
