That flaming bomb is U.S. Army Ordnance (adopted 1848). Check the logo in the top left corner.

Haven't been able to place the period, but it's devinately post CW, I'm guessing WWI?

Nice to see finds from you Jeff... to long a winter. Kinda like when Jerimiah Johnson wonders what month it is...

Congrats on the finds, and thanks for the wonderful history lesson about the shoots and the crazy flying confussing bottlecap birds! That was enjoyable.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else you dig up there!

Congrats!

Thanks everyone.

Due to Time constraints, because these homes will
grow thick with Briers Etc.
I want to get as many of them in as possable.
So I probably won't hit that one again for at least
a few weeks.

Next site will be these two houses on Saturday
(Highs mid 50's will make it nice)

I just located another house in the Tax Records.

Their Picture was taken Sept. of 95

So I'm going to need to Swing by there
first thing Saturday, & see if it's searchable.

This one is dated 1845

Jeff, do you plan on going into those old houses to look around? Just wondered about permission to do so...are they just abandoned and left up for grabs

??....pp

KenPa · Mar 28, 2007

Thats a great start Jeff, can't wait to see more. Good luck

Mirage · Mar 28, 2007

Some cool stuff. Can't believe your ground is still frozen in spots. Well at least you can hunt.

I'm unsure what my limits are.
My Permit is for Access to the land.
They are aware I plan on Detecting the Land,
and said that was fine.

Entering the Buildings most likely falls under "entering
Posted Properties" as some of the houses have NO TRESSPASSING
Signs on them. the ones that don't most likely did.

It is Extremely Tempting. as is a 40's Chevy I saw yesterday
with an Awsome Steering wheel in it. I wanted to pull it.
But ? ? ? ? common sense took over :P

I am assuming at some point I will be approached
my a company employee checking my permissions.
And at that point will Question him / her on
Those possabilities, but am not Holding my breath.

The home I was at yesterday has a Packed Basement
of ? ? ? that looked like $ $ $ in the making $:-\$

& 3 old Vehicles outside.

Here is my Permit.
Distorted to prevent Counterfeiting
and / Or Upsetting the Company.
