Finds at the Maverick site

[Maverick29]

I went out today for about 30 minutes to an hour. I went over to where the outhouse is and started to do a sweep around where I found the good luck token last week. I did find this box around the side of the outhouse. I dont know what it is but I do know that it has something inside of it. I can hear something it it move around. Sounds like dirt but who knows. I found the buckle on the backside of the outhouse. Looks to have been hit by one of the plows that plow that field. The penny was about a foot ahead of that. I didnt get a penny reading but got an iron reading. Dug the plug and out popped this penny at about 6 inches. Saw the date an it was the oldest one I have found yet. Then the wrench was at about 2 inches deep. Thinking that it is either and old model-a or model-t wrench.

Any help on the little box would be great. Will post it on the Whats it board.

Thanks for looking and hh to everyone.

Will try to get better pics of the penny after i clean it alittle better.

Nice digs Finch - fix your phone and remind me to show you how to resize...

Tried to "help" the penny pics but they're too far gone. I'll help you get some decent macro shots. Looks like we might get Saturday morning in for a few hours...

Chris,
I think that thin box thing is an old door lock that the door knob would be mounted too. Is it about 5" tall?

Thanks i about had a heart attack when i seen the date on the penny. Thought that the wrench was old and my dad said it sounded like a model a or t so that was cool.

Thanks
