Found an Indian at the old homesite taday. Brought him home with me.

[Old River]

Made another little hunt at the old homesite today, and found a 1901 indian head. Also picked up an old pocket watch. Found what I believe to be part of the rigging for a buggy, and a box handle. Found two of the same on my last hunt. Really enjoying this cool weather we are having. Added a couple of pictures where the old homeplace is. Just below the hill ia the river. On the oposite side of the river is where I found the Texas buttons.

I like to hunt those nice grassy areas. 99% of the time I have to contend with desert stuff.

I love the area the site I'm hunting. I didn't even know there was an old homesite there until I got permission to hunt the property. The owner told me there was a pear tree in the middle of that field where an old homesite use to be. Did I ever get a grin on my face. Its clean, and the only guest I have is six horses. We get along good together. I will be going back again soon. Hope to find more to show. The area is about seven acres, and the area where the house was is about one acre. I wish the watch could have been in better shape, but I'm happy with it. I would like to find more coins though. I will be displaying all my finds at the "Old River Winfree Foundersday" event on July 24th, and 25th. We are going to have a lot going on then. Anyone want to drop by you will be welcome. I will be inside the community building with my display. I would love to meet some of you.

That's a great idea, River! You've found some really nice things to display. I'm sure everyone will enjoy seeing the history you've dug up.

Congrats on the finds

Nice hunt Old River. I've been told those box handles as you call them are actually "D" rings off a saddle. I've not found a pic of a saddle with that type D ring yet. I've found a few of them and keep them for future reference.

I've read where they were ammo box handles. I found one that had another piece of metal attached to it like it would be fastened to a tub of some kind. I like your explanation though. sounds good. Thanks.

Old River. Nice looking IH......Looks like you have a great spot to keep you occupied for quite a while..beats battling the snakes and poison ivy in the woods!

 

[Old River]

Yes i've retreated from those woods, or should I say swamps for awhile. There's all kind of critters in there. Today I took my tractor, and brush cutter, and cleared a few briar patches out. I just might get up tomorrow, and check it out. This is how I've found a lot of my finds.Thanks for looking.
