Sunday after I posted I informed the boys they would NOT be working in there Wed. afternoon, it was mine. Ahhhh we just put the floor on. No problem I'll crawl in through the hatch with a flash light. Ahhhh I'm insulating under there Mon. 
. I am not a happy camper and I start throwing a temper tantrum like you read about! 
So in order for me to stop turning purple.....they admit they took 2 - 2 1/2 yards of dirt out of there and DUMPED it over the bank. "I sure as heck hope you didn't break anything?" Reply...."I checked every shovel full there is nothing in there." 
Today.....I rush home get my screen a shovel, my detector, my probe, and start sifting like a mad woman. I sifted until I ran out of room in the drum and the granite rock. Took out the detector and the probe and continued with them. All in all about 3 hours. I am far from done. You would not believe the rusty crustys, one window latch, lots of unidentifiables, glass, ceramic plate & cup pieces, arrow head shards.
Finds...ceramic button, piece of clay pipe bowl & the rest piece of a clay pipe, clay marble, most of an arrow head (there were words), a tiny buckle, half of an old cork. Saving the best for last........the last thing I found and with the detector, yup a bell! It is soaking now.
The bell...at first it was so heavy I thought it was a large musket ball while it was in my hand. One look I knew it was a bell, but why so heavy? I brought it inside washed it off, it seems to be filled with lead? The silvery material inside is even comming out the 4 holes on the bottom of it. Any ideas why it would be filled with lead?
Here are some pictures of me and my friend's day. I told you she was a treasure seeker.
