First Hunt of the Summer

[IHC656]

I’ve been allowed to detect a new permission.
A one room school house about 2 miles from my house. It is in my 1895 & 1913 plat map books.
Foundation is very small, I’d guess 20ft x 30ft.
Deer flies, mosquitoes & heat made me quit after an hour.
Found a threaded brass ornament.
Busted cast iron desk parts & a 1880 Indian cent.

Cool finds - really like the Indian Cent !

That's a sweet old IHP, congrats!

I'd say fighting the flies and mosquitoes was worth digging that Indian. Nice finds.

I just tried again with insect repellent this time.
1917 S Mercury Dime
1910 Lincoln
1897 Indian
Homemade lead fishing sinker
3 buttons and the end of a pencil or paint brush.
Almost no trash and not many nails.
Paced off the foundation at 25ft x 20ft and the front breeze way at 11x8ft. Makes me wonder if it was a log cabin school.

Very nice. All of those coins are in great condition
