There's also an old ferry crossing here which I'll check the water in the spring. The property is residential and I've become friends with the owner whom has shared much of it's history. These are from the last couple of days, including a bunch of tokens and five pennies two of which are Wheaties. A very unusual reversed imprinted metal buckle or plate(?) name at bottom says Manhattan but in reverse. There's a large Machine Pin, a decorated Lead strap and in the last photo, I dropped a Neodium magnet on a rope down into the well and pulled up the hinged 'W'. I'm guessing the top part of a music stand? There was more but I need to bring more magnets to haul up some heavier items.

A number of these photos somehow got rotated to the left.
