Good evening fellow detectorists, Decided to return to the Family "Smith" farm which my great grandfather farmed from the 20's to the 40's. I have been hunting this place on and off all summer but still have uncovered turf. I'm still finding things in areas I have already hunted. To date I have found 2 mercs. and a Rosie. Today I found another merc. The front of the house has some real old maples which were ideal for people to relax and play under on those hot summer days when most people had no AC. My great grandfather loved to sit outside as I clearly recall. Nice place for change to fall out too 
. I have found at least 2 dozen Wheaties as well. The tootsie toy was down deep (8 inches) under a layer of clay. I can't believe how protected it was. Looks almost new. Any idea on the age? I'm guessing by the design 40's. I found another key (6) already, a broach (any ideas)? a small pocket spill 1963 nickle and some early 60ish pennies. Also found some kind of brass thingy? Thanks for looking P.S. Notice The picture of the house with the ladder and the big maple tree to the right. Well, hurricane Ike knocked it down hitting the side of the house. The damage could have been more severe had it fell to the left. Instead, it bounced off of the side leaving a small hole in the side of the house and damaging the gutter and some of the wood.
