Early 1900's House - 2nd Hunt - No "Civ", but got "Silv" **VIDEO**

Yesterday, I made it back over to the early 1900's house for my second hunt. The first 2-3" of dirt was still frozen solid in the shaded area. It made for sloooooooow digging. I found a nice variety of relics, and some silver too. :thumbsup:

I still have a lot of yard to cover on the side and in back of the house. I found a trash area which turned up some vintage brass pieces. The 1879 IH was a nice surprise and I wasn't expecting a coin that old in this yard. I did dig a mid-1800's flat button on the first hunt, so I'm hoping there may be a few 1800's silver coins to be found. :dontknow:

I could use some help on IDing a few items in the pictures too. Thanks

Here is a video for your viewing enjoyment.

I plan on going back for a third hunt on Sunday since it's supposed to be sunny and in the 50's. Ahhhhhh. :thumbsup:

Thanks for l@@king,
MM

Nice digs, MM. Congrats on the relics and coins. I always like finding the war nickels. Good luck on a return hunt when it warms up.

Good luck this year,
Doug

Thank you for the nice video.
Although you did not ask .. I think your brass washer thing with the glass insert is the eye piece off of an old monocular

Jeff,
Thanks so much for the ID. :occasion14:

That's got to be the best Confederate horseshoe I've ever seen! The best prize of the day for sure! :icon_thumleft:

Silver is always good tho. lol That's turning out to be a great yard to hunt. I hope your eye gets better soon! I know that's frustrating for you.
Great going!

Thanks Nana. I thought you would like that Confederate horseshoe. :tongue3:

I think I need to go back to margaritas to straighten out my eye. It really has been a tough road. Scary too. I hope Duke can help me. :thumbsup:

Have a great week young lady,
Doug
