Found homesite at random area

[DetectorMoe]

Down in my neck of the woods,. A area just got cleared out, So why not and give it a shot. After walking and slinging the whole area and heading back to my vehicle I came across trashy spot that had iron signals all over. Started digging up stuff and I then realize its not to old of a place(1880s to 1930s)... I only been digging at colonial sites for the last few years, but the stuff I was finding here causing me to have some fun. So I stuck around for a few hours. Interesting finds.

The ruler is part of a scale. It's the bar the weights slide on. Gary

Do you think he could be gold panning?

It's a guy fly fishing. You can see the Fly Rod in his left hand and a Net in his right.

Great finds DetectorMoe. Cool Lock and I really like the Fly Fisher thingy - I'm an avid Fly Fisher.

Cheers.

Is there anything on the back of the Fly Fisher thing? It looks like a watch FOB Medallion from the 1800s.

Here are some examples:
